of fixed fee than the percentage of work that the Contractor has completed, then the CO
may suspend further payment of any fixed fee until the Contractor has made sufficient
progress to justify further payment, up to the agreed percentage.

(2) The clauses entitled "Allowable Cost and Payment" (FAR 52.216-7) and "Fixed Fee"

SECTION C – DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1 INTRODUCTION

This Statement of Work (SOW) is designed for a Contractor to implement a five-year contract as
part of the Government of Indonesia (GOI) development cooperation with the United States
Government (USG). The activity name is CEGAH (pronounced chay-GUH), the Indonesian word
for “prevent,” as this activity will focus on strengthening the judicial sector, government
accountability institutions, universities and civil society organizations to prevent corruption. This
contract supports USAID/Indonesia’s Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS)
2014-2018 under Development Objective 1 (DO 1): Democratic Governance Strengthened and
represents direct contributions to a number of goals identified in the GOI’s National Medium-term
Development Plan 2015-2019. CEGAH is one element of the broader Democracy, Rights, and
Governance (DRG) project designed to achieve progress on DO 1.

C.2 BACKGROUND

Indonesia is the largest economy in Southeast Asia and currently a G-20 nation; it is projected to
be the world’s 7th largest economy by 2030.1 A New York Times op-ed noted that Indonesia’s
transition to democracy over the past 15 years has made it a “shining light for political reform in
the developing world.”2 The Government of Indonesia (GOI) is taking lead roles in initiatives with
global implications, for example in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN),
Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), the Open Government Partnership (OGP),
Sustainable Development Goals and others. Clearly, Indonesia has much to share with other
countries that aspire to increase economic growth and deepen their democratic commitments. At
the same time, Indonesia continues to aspire to improve its own growth trajectory to assure
greater social equity and reductions in poverty, and to achieve improvements in its system of
democratic accountability.

As the world’s third largest democracy, Indonesia is a key partner whose successful democratic
consolidation has regional and global implications. While Indonesia has been successful to date
in the transition from authoritarian rule begun in 1998, the full consolidation of democracy is still a
work in progress. The vigorous contestation of the 2014 presidential election gave many analysts
hope, with its ultimate conclusion inaugurating Joko Widodo (known as “Jokowi”), the first
Indonesian president who was neither a military leader nor a member of a privileged and elite
family and who rose to prominence on his reputation for clean governance. Yet the challenges he
has faced over the initial half year of his presidency all demonstrate the lack of full consolidation
of democracy: a recalcitrant political opposition; pro-status quo elements within his own political
coalition; a roll-back (then reinstatement) of direct local elections by the legislature; the
appointment of many lackluster ministers with weak reform credentials; and most recently a
significant reduction in the effectiveness of the once world-class Corruption Eradication
Commission (KPK) at the hands of regressive elements of the national police and their political
cronies. In multiple analyses conducted by USAID, other development partners, and
independent scholars, the need for Indonesia to make further progress against obstacles to
democratic governance, including the guarantee of equality between men and women, has been

clearly articulated.3 Government accountability and responsiveness, protection of citizen rights,

and addressing development inequalities in Eastern Indonesia – particularly gender-based
violence (GBV) – have all been identified as key constraints to democratic governance and
equitable development more broadly. Consequently, investment in democracy, rights, and good
governance carries the prospect of global impact by demonstrating that Indonesia can prosper
and thrive as a function of its commitment to public accountability and the protection of the rights
of all its citizens.

Indonesia’s performance on key indices such as Freedom House’s Freedom in the World and the
World Bank’s governance indicators demonstrate both impressive democratic transformation
and slower improvement in governance. Nonetheless, governance improvements have been
fairly steady and demonstrate that reforms – while taking significant time to take root – can be
successful. Political rights and civil liberties have trended dramatically upward since 1998 with an
intermediate period of institutional change from 2000 to 2004. By 2005 Indonesia had all the
institutions of democracy in place. Yet the pace of improvements in Indonesian governance has
lagged behind that of its once heady institutional transformation, notwithstanding most
governance improvements have been fairly steady. In terms of measures of corruption the
picture of gradual but steady improvement over the past 16 years is also evident.

But despite the improvements in most of these indicators since 1998, Indonesia still remains in
the bottom half of many key global rankings, and still scores barely above 30 out of 100 on the
Corruption Perceptions Index. In short, targeted investments in key democracy, rights, and
governance sub-sectors can help strengthen these gradual positive trends, and buttress
reformers against the rollback of progress in key areas that some observers have noted.

The CEGAH activity contributes to USAID/Indonesia’s Development Objective 1 (DO 1) to

Strengthen Democratic Governance in Indonesia. DO 1 includes a broader set of activities to
address democratic governance challenges in Indonesia in the sub-sectors of accountability and
human rights, with enhanced efforts focused on the rights of women in Eastern Indonesia.
Consistent with the strategic themes articulated in USAID/Indonesia’s CDCS, partnerships with
national and local government agencies, civil society organizations (CSOs) and the private
sector are also woven throughout these activities. Similarly, the values of enhancing
sustainability by strengthening local systems, integration of DRG activities with the goals and
objectives of other technical offices in the portfolio, empowerment and protection of the rights of
the most marginalized and vulnerable citizens (especially women), and use of science and
technology to leverage greater program impact are all intended to be captured under this project.

The development hypothesis of the broader Democratic Governance project is that work on both
the supply (government) and demand (civil society) sides of good governance to generate further
improvements in government accountability and the protection of citizen rights, with a special
geographic focus on the rights of women in Eastern Indonesia, are key to improving governance
as a whole in Indonesia. Improved governance will not only strengthen Indonesia’s democracy,
but also contribute indirectly to achievements in USAID/Indonesia’s other sectors of health,
education, and the environment. Given the project’s small budget compared to Indonesia’s
enormous geographic size and population, this five-year effort will result in modest improvements
in Indonesia’s ability to prevent corruption, be more transparent, reform its bureaucracy, protect
citizen rights, and reduce violence against women in Eastern Indonesia. However, such

incremental improvements should enhance the longer term trends discussed above and over
time provide reason for optimism. Further, synergy among the various DRG project activities
themselves needs to be actively sought and routinely measured to assure they are building on
each other and leading toward the Development Objective.

This activity specifically addresses improving government accountability. Other DRG project
activities will address protecting citizen rights and improving the rights of women in Eastern
Indonesia.

Indonesia’s Anti-Corruption Challenge

Indonesia in the last decade has embarked on an aggressive enforcement effort against
corruption, especially through the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). The KPK,
established in 2002,4 has been remarkably successful prosecuting high-profile cases of those
who were in positions considered untouchable in the past, such as ministers, governors,
legislators, judges, attorneys, high-ranking police officials, etc. The determination of the KPK has
earned this institution unparalleled legitimacy and credibility among the public and has created
hope for clean and accountable governance in Indonesia. In the last ten years, the GOI has also
shown its commitment to fight corruption in other ways, such as ratification of the United Nations
Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) in 2006,5 becoming the coordinator of the Group of 20
(G-20) anti-corruption task force in Korea in 2010,6 and in 2015 issuing a second Presidential
Instruction on Actions for Prevention and Eradication of Corruption (hereafter referred to as
Inpres No. 7/2015). 7 Indonesia also served as the global chair of the Open Government
Partnership (OGP) in 2013-14. 8 However, several problems still emerge and corruption
continues to remain high.

The Open Government Partnership (OGP) highlights the availability of information as a key
aspect of good governance, supporting civic engagement, implementation of the highest
standards of professional integrity in public administration, and improving access to new
technologies to promote openness and accountability. Indonesia served as global chair of OGP
from October 2013 to September 2014. The implementation of OGP principles in annual national
action plans in Indonesia is expected to improve some of the challenges described above.

The KPK is one of the most successful anti-graft bodies in Asia9 but it has received “push-back”
for its success. The KPK’s leadership has faced obstacles and attacks from other government
agencies, most recently the National Police, as the KPK moves forward with its efforts to bring
greater accountability to those agencies. The attempted weakening of the KPK continues in
many forms, including several attempts to revise its founding law (UU TIPIKOR), “criminalization”

4 The KPK was established by law in 2002 and became operational in 2004. It is legally empowered to: 1) Coordinate
with institutions authorized to combat acts of corruption, 2) Supervise institutions authorized to combat acts of
corruption, 3) Conduct preliminary investigations, investigations and prosecutions against acts of corruption, 4)
Conduct corruption prevention activities, and 5) Conduct monitoring of state governance.

8 The Open Government Partnership (OGP) is a multi-stakeholder initiative focused on improving government
transparency, accountability and responsiveness to citizens. OGP brings together government and civil society
champions of reform who recognize that governments are much more likely to be effective and credible if they open
their doors to public input and oversight. In just three years since OGP’s launch, its membership has grown from 8 to
64 countries, with hundreds of civil society organizations participating in the OGP process at the country-level.

of KPK commissioners and staff via questionable accusations of wrongdoing, withdrawal of

seconded staff particularly from the national police and the Attorney General’s Office, and threats
and intimidation targeted at KPK staff and CSO supporters. In spite of these pressures,
Indonesia continues with its trend over the last fifteen years of slight, but steady improvement in
fighting corruption. 10 The fight against corruption continues but the impact is still difficult to
discern. Vigorous investigation and prosecution, while welcome, do not seem able to significantly
reduce corruption on their own. Moreover, the KPK is a small institution compared to the size of
the country and the magnitude of the problem. With around one thousand staff and only one
office, in Jakarta, the KPK’s effectiveness in reaching out to the more remote jurisdictions of the
nation is constrained by its lack of resources. In addition, with the advent of the Village Law (No.
6/2014) increasing resource transfers to lower levels of government there is concern regarding
further risks of fraud and corruption. In short the KPK, Attorney General’s Office (AGO), and
courts are all limited in their abilities to address an increasing number of cases, and an approach
that relies heavily on enforcement is costly and time consuming. In such a situation, a
complementary approach of prevention is therefore necessary to reduce corruption before it
occurs.

The ratification of UNCAC and the issuance of Inpres No. 7/2015 are not yet effective in their
implementation. There are several aspects of the Criminal Code (KUHP) and Criminal Procedure
Code (KUHAP) that need to be revised and harmonized to be in compliance with the UNCAC,11
while the Presidential Instructions that must be implemented by all ministries and agencies have
not yet produced significant results. The KPK as the leading anti-corruption agency has
conducted several prevention efforts, mostly public education campaigns through supervision of
anti-corruption prevention conducted by other agencies, also through administering the wealth
report (LHKP) and gratification report. Yet the KPK’s overall prevention efforts in the last decade
are very thinly spread and partial. Nonetheless, the KPK long-term strategy clearly highlights
linkages between corruption prevention and prosecution.12 This has been followed up by MOUs
signed with several ministries regarding Action Plans on Preventing Corruption in specific
sectors, such as the Action Plan on Acceleration of Forest Area Determination and the Action
Plan on a National Movement to Conserve Natural Resources (the latter covers forest, marine,
and mineral resources).

C.2.1 RELATIONSHIP TO USG PRIORITIES

CEGAH supports USG priorities encompassing development and diplomatic goals. The GOI and
USG have progressed on cooperation in the area of democracy, rights, and governance under
the U.S.-Indonesia Comprehensive Partnership, inaugurated by the two countries in 2010 and
reaffirmed by President Jokowi. Cooperation on key elements of accountability and
anti-corruption covered by the Democracy and Civil Society Working Group were endorsed by
Secretary Clinton and Foreign Minister Natalegawa in 2011 and have been reaffirmed by the two
governments in each subsequent meeting of the Joint Commission Meetings, the main vehicle to
implement the Comprehensive Partnership.

Indonesia and the US are two of eight Open Government Partnership (OGP) founding members
and the USG continues to partner strongly with Indonesia in support of OGP. Over the coming
years the US and Indonesia expect to continue to confirm their high-level commitments under

10 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) released by Transparency International gives Indonesia a score of 34 and
placing 107 out of 175 countries ranked by TI in 2014. This score is slightly better than 2013, in which Indonesia’s CPI
score was 32 and ranked 114 out of 177, continuing a trend of marginal annual improvements over the past five
years. See www.transparency.org for more details.

OGP to strengthen open government, civil society engagement, and transparency to fulfill
reforms addressed in each country’s OGP Action Plan.

Learning from international best practices, corruption prevention efforts are ideally conducted by
all institutions through strengthening systems, mechanisms and procedures, and linking all of
these cohesively to prosecution efforts. Such practices have been implemented by several
countries, including the United States, in which the key accountability agencies, such as the
Government Accountability Office (GAO), Inspectors General (IGs), and the Office of
Management and Budget, work hand-in-hand to prevent and minimize fraud, waste and abuse of
federal public funds and together coordinate closely with the Department of Justice that has
prosecution authority. 13 Audit findings and recommendations are followed up and closely
monitored. IGs and the GAO also report on potential fraud that could be mitigated every year.
The degree of independence of these institutions make it possible for them to work efficiently and
improve the government bureaucracy in accordance with changes and demands from the public
regarding transparency and accountability of public funds as well as the quality of services. In
addition to these institutions, the presence and effective role of other independent agencies, such
as the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) that protects the civil service and the Office of
Special Counsel (OSC) that protects whistleblowers also play significant roles in strengthening
the U.S. domestic accountability system. Meanwhile, checks and balances are ensured and the
presence of CSOs to provide independent oversight and advocacy is crucial. The U.S. system
has served as a fruitful source of peer mentoring and learning for Indonesian institutions in the
past.

RELATIONSHIP TO APPROVED MISSION STRATEGY

CEGAH falls under the umbrella of the Democratic Governance Project under
USAID/Indonesia’s CDCS for Indonesia. In particular, CEGAH will contribute to the achievement
of the CDCS’ Intermediate Result (IR) 1.1: Community of Accountability Improved and all three of
its lower-level results. Over the five year period of that strategy (FYs 2014-2018), co-investment
with Indonesian counterparts and other stakeholders will result in a stronger Indonesia advancing
national and global development. Under the CDCS, four Development Objectives (DOs) were
identified to achieve this goal.

DO 1: DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE STRENGTHENED

DO 2: ESSENTIAL HUMAN SERVICES FOR POOREST AND MOST VULNERABLE IMPROVED
DO 3: GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES OF MUTUAL INTEREST ADVANCED

DO 4: COLLABORATIVE ACHIEVEMENT IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION INCREASED

Results of CEGAH will directly contribute to the achievement of CDCS Development Objective 1,
which includes three Intermediate Results (IRs). In particular, CEGAH will address IR 1.1,
“Community of Accountability Improved.”

C.2.2 PAST USAID DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE ACTIVITIES

Many of the elements of this activity build on the achievements of current activities implemented
under USAID/Indonesia’s 2009-2013 Country Strategy. These current activities have
demonstrated that strategic partnerships with reform entrepreneurs within key government
agencies can foster improvements in democratic governance. For example, Changes for Justice
(C4J)’s successful piloting of a computerized court case tracking system in selected district
courts resulted in the Supreme Court adopting the system and mandating its deployment on a
national basis to all 352 district courts. C4J has also helped the Supreme Court deploy this
system in all provincial appeals courts. This system has helped reduce corruption in the judicial
system by preventing judges from unduly delaying cases or offering alternative verdicts to
defendants for a price. This work followed earlier success under C4J and the Millennium
Challenge Corporation Indonesia Control of Corruption Project (MCC-ICCP), which helped the
Supreme Court develop an online database to publish appeals judgments. This “Direktori
Putusan” system successfully detected an instance of a judge’s manipulation of a verdict in a
drug case, and as a result the original verdict was enforced.

Under the Educating and Equipping Tomorrow’s Justice Reformers (E2J) activity, eight leading
Indonesian law schools have developed clinical legal education modules to supplement the
overly theoretical focus of their traditional curriculum. These legal clinics have resulted in these
law schools producing graduates who are better prepared for the job market and more interested
in defending the rights of the poorest and most vulnerable by working for legal aid institutes. E2J
has also helped these law schools create stronger relationships with formal justice sector

CEGAH

institutions and civil society organizations to strengthen practical legal education and analytical
research.

With training and mentoring from the Strengthening Integrity and Accountability Program (SIAP
1), the Finance Audit Agency (BPK)’s auditors have begun to undertake more and higher quality
performance audits; in the past the BPK had conducted solely financial audits. These
performance audits focus on evaluating the impact of government programs, and as such are a
key support for evidence-based policy-making. In order to improve the BPK’s internal fraud
prevention procedures, SIAP 1 has helped the BPK establish a fruitful professional relationship
with its peer supreme audit institution from the U.S., the Government Accountability Office
(GAO). SIAP 1 has also helped the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) develop the
capacity of its training facility, and as a result the KPK’s investigators are better equipped to
detect and investigate government corruption.

SIAP 2 and IKAT–U.S., both DRG activities that concluded in 2014, helped USAID engage a
large set of local CSOs directly and deepened our relationships with reform-oriented civil society.
They also taught us how direct local implementation entails both clear benefits but also risks
related to slower than optimal delivery and reinforced the critical value of institutional capacity
building targeted at key CSO partners.

Program Representasi (PROREP), which will continue until 2016, provides USAID with a unique
and flexible tool that has enhanced local participation in the policy advocacy and formulation
process in a set of key areas relevant to health, education, environment, DRG and USAID’s
partnership with GOI on South-South and Triangular Cooperation.

C.3 ACTIVITY GOAL AND APPROACH

CEGAH’s highest level result is, “Community of Accountability Improved.” It is divided into three
components that will work simultaneously in various activities to support efforts to prevent
corruption in Indonesia and to link these prevention efforts better to enforcement conducted by
prosecuting agencies, such as the KPK. The implementing partner must link all efforts under the
three components described below to maximize the effectiveness of CEGAH in reaching its
goals.

RATIONALE/DEVELOPMENT HYPOTHESIS
Activity Result: “Community of Accountability Improved”

“Community of Accountability” refers to the ecosystem of institutions, rules, and reform

entrepreneurs within governing institutions, civil society, and the private sector, as well as
encompassing more general public attitudes and behaviors that mutually support an
anti-corruption and transparent and effective government agenda. The purpose of this activity,
which corresponds to Intermediate Result 1.1 in the CDCS, is to help these institutions and
stakeholders further their reform agenda and support the flourishing of a culture of accountability
in Indonesian governance.14 Where relevant and feasible, we seek partnerships with private
sector actors who have demonstrably public-spirited goals. Thus these activities will help civil

14 Accountability involves a relationship between a person or institution (the “agent”) who exercises power and the
people or institutions (the “authorizers”) who authorize that exercise of power. For our purposes, agents typically are
elected leaders and other government officials and authorizers are voters, elected leaders and government officials.
There are two key elements to this relationship: First, the agent has to explain and justify his/her conduct to the
authorizers. Second, the authorizers must have both the willingness and ability to exercise oversight and to cause
consequences (positive or negative) for the agent. (This discussion of accountability draws heavily on: “Analysing and
Assessing Public Accountability: A Conceptual Framework” by Mark Bovens, European Governance Papers
[EUROGOV] No C-06-01.Available at www.connex-network.org/eurogov/pdf/egp-connex-C-06-O1.pdf.)

CEGAH

society and the private sector “demand” greater accountability and protection of citizen rights,
and will also help governing institutions “supply” those public goods to further Indonesia’s
democratic consolidation. Focusing strictly on the supply side can rob reform entrepreneurs
within government of critical societal support and pressure for their reforms against vested
interests, while focusing only on the demand side can create unmet pressure for change, which
in turn can foster frustration, cynicism, and erosion of trust in democracy itself. A balanced
approach is necessary, to the mutual benefit of reform entrepreneurs in all sectors.

All activities under each of the three components are intended to contribute to achievement of the
highest-level result of “community of accountability improved,” especially in strengthening
corruption prevention in Indonesia. The first component focuses on corruption prosecution and
adjudication by permanent justice institutions (primarily the Supreme Court) and the ad hoc
anti-corruption courts, which fall under the authority of the Supreme Court. The second
component works with key accountability agencies to build their capacity to coordinate,
cooperate and act for better corruption prevention that strongly links to enforcement. The third
component is to strengthen the role of CSOs including media, universities, and research
institutes to strengthen public demand for accountability, including research and advocacy on
corruption prevention.

CEGAH will employ a multi-dimensional, multi-faceted approach by addressing systems,

processes, and inter-relationships for ensuring effective public accountability. When combined
with diplomatic efforts to encourage public accountability, this approach will create a robust effort
for reforms in Indonesia. It will work with government agencies, citizen groups, universities,
research institutes, and media. It will support efforts to improve accountability within government
institutions and at the same time support innovative efforts to increase the demand for
accountability. It will focus much of its effort at the national level but also support activities in
selected sub-national locations by emphasizing corruption prevention and enhanced
accountability in several strategic sectors such as health care, education and the environment
(marine and forestry).

CEGAH must be implemented in a way that is results-oriented, demand-driven, participatory,

flexible, and sustainable. The activity’s approach must also consider several other principles of
USAID program management guidance on Collaborating, Learning and Adapting (CLA), as
outlined by USAID’s Bureau for Policy, Planning and Learning, and Gender Equality. CEGAH will
undertake a robust impact evaluation of its programming.

Required Indicators:
 World Justice Project (WJP) Rule of Law Index components 2.1 and 2.2 under Factor 2
(absence of corruption in the judicial and executive branch).
 Number of CSOs receiving USG assistance engaged in advocacy interventions.
(Standard Indicator No. 2.4.1-9)

There are no standard indicators for addressing the extent to which DRG programs in particular
promote gender equality, female empowerment, and social inclusion. However, the Contractor
must track the following standard indicators for all relevant activities:

 Percentage of females who report increased self-efficacy at the conclusion of USG

supported training/programming. (Standard Indicator No. GNDR-3)
 Percentage of participants reporting increased agreement with the concept that males
and females should have equal access to social, economic, and political opportunities.

C.4 SCOPE OF WORK: EXPECTED RESULTS

The activity is comprised of three key components (sub-intermediate results):

 COMPONENT 1: Effectiveness of justice sector to prosecute and adjudicate corruption

cases increased. (C.4.1) (20% of resources)
 COMPONENT 2: Key GOI corruption prevention institutions strengthened. (C.4.2) (55%
of resources)
 COMPONENT 3: Civil society initiatives on accountability increased. (C.4.3) (25% of
resources)

These three activity components focus on continuing support to various government agencies in
strengthening efforts to increase transparency and accountability to the public. This activity will
focus more on the “prevention” aspects of fighting corruption, rather than a focus on investigative
and enforcement capabilities. The components will work with both the supply side and demand
side, particularly in linking the efforts on both sides to address corruption from a holistic,
integrated approach. Initiatives such as the Open Government Partnership (OGP) and innovative
technology solutions will serve as means with which to increase the effectiveness of both GOI
and CSO efforts to combat corruption, particularly through the improvement of government
performance, and the strengthening of linkages and cooperation between government and
non-governmental actors, and reducing improper influences in government decision-making.

There are “Required Tasks” listed within each of these three components described in further
detail in this section. At the minimum the Contractor must complete all of the Required Tasks.
The Contractor is encouraged to propose additional Required Tasks for each component.

Where appropriate, the Contractor should engage with media and utilize innovative technology.
Where applicable, the Contractor should coordinate and seek linkages with other
USAID/Indonesia Environment (Marine and Forestry), Health, Education, and Science &
Technology programs to increase transparency and accountability activities.

The Contractor must ensure that activities are responsive to gender considerations, and seek to
ensure that the assistance provided and the results achieved are beneficial to both women and
men. The Contractor must demonstrate an institutional commitment to gender equality and
expertise. The Contractor must strive to increase diverse participation in all of the accountability
activities.

To achieve the results listed below, the Contractor may use a combination of technical
assistance, training, analyses, studies, workshops, information transfers, and sub-grants to
CSOs or universities.

C.4.1 COMPONENT 1 (Sub-intermediate result 1.1.1): Effectiveness of justice sector to

prosecute and adjudicate corruption cases increased.

Within the formal justice sector, opportunities have been identified within the courts and the
prosecutors’ offices to support efforts to improve their capacity to address corruption cases, and
within select universities, working together with civil society and in close cooperation with justice
institutions, to further anti-corruption education and strengthen anti-corruption centers and
networks, thus building off of previous USAID work in legal clinical education. In particular, the
development of tools which can analyze and report progress on corruption and related criminal
cases is also needed both to demonstrate the GOI’s efforts to combat corruption and instill
greater accountability, as well as to strengthen public confidence in those entities.

Sub-IR 1.1.1 is comprised of three elements (sub-sub-intermediate results), as follows:

 Sub-sub-IR 1.1.1a: Strengthened Supreme Court ability to gather and analyze data on
corruption cases.
 Sub-sub-IR 1.1.1b: Reduced sentencing discrepancies in corruption cases.
 Sub-sub-IR 1.1.1c: Improved anti-corruption education in tertiary institutions.

Required Indicators:
 Number of judges and judicial personnel trained with USG assistance. (Standard
Indicator No. 2.1.2-7)

 Number of USG-assisted courts with improved case management systems. (Standard

Indicator No. 2.1.3-13)

Suggested Indicators:
 Number of public complaints filed with the Judicial Commission and the Ombudsman
regarding courts’ handling of corruption cases.
 Average score of quality of judicial decisions in corruption cases by judiciary watch CSO.
 Standard deviation of sentences for similar corruption offenses.
 Percentage of similar corruption offenses sentenced at least 75 percent of the maximum
term.
 Number of tertiary educational institutions adopting anti-corruption modules in their
curricula.

Sub-sub-IR 1.1.1a: Strengthened Supreme Court ability to gather and analyze data on
corruption cases.

Corruption cases in this regard include all cases prosecuted by both the AGO (Attorney
General’s Office) and the KPK (Corruption Eradication Commission) that fall into the jurisdiction
of the anti-corruption special chamber in the general court, i.e. corruption crimes, money
laundering, and other corruption-related crimes stipulated in Law No. 46/2009 and Law No.
8/2010. The goal of this component is to improve the quality of corruption case judgments.

Further analysis and use of data is expected to lead to better evidence-based decision-making to
improve accountability, including the quality of courts’ judgment in corruption cases and the
management which allows for effective enforcement. There are a number of systems already in
place to further open data within the courts, including Direktori Putusan,15 an online database of
Supreme Court judgments, and SIPP (Sistem Informasi Penelusuran Perkara),16 an automated
case tracking system that provides case and judgment summaries for all appellate and district
courts. This open data and analysis of it can assist with the following: 1) to increase the tracking
and monitoring of corruption and related criminal cases; 2) to identify sectors in which GOI and
relevant stakeholders bring corruption cases; and 3) to hold judges accountable for the handling
of corruption and related criminal matters brought before their courts. Implementing and
mainstreaming evidence-based decision-making is particularly important to the Supreme Court’s

Kamar Pidana Khusus (the Chamber of Special Crimes) and Badilum (the Directorate General of
the General Court), in close coordination with the Judicial Commission.

In addition to enhancing the analytical skills of justice sector actors, the Contractor must also
focus on strengthening existing systems to improve transparency and accountability of the justice
sector by the public and increase the monitoring and evaluation abilities of the Supreme Court
and the Judicial Commission to improve court performance.

By continuously improving the quality of court judgments in corruption cases as well as ensuring
public access to better information, the courts can demonstrate to the public their seriousness in
addressing corruption, demonstrate the court system’s own transparency and accountability that
is necessary to earn public trust, and identify areas of potential vulnerability to corruption within
the judicial system and the ability to take corrective action.

The Contractor must design and implement in collaboration with partners, including the Supreme
Court, the Judicial Commission (Komisi Yudisial), other justice sector state actors, and relevant
CSOs, an intervention that creates an enabling environment for both state actors and non-state
actors in the justice sector to use and analyze judgments and data pertaining to corruption cases
using open data tools. This work should also encourage closer participation of relevant CSOs,
including universities/law schools (See Sub-sub-Result 1.1.1c below).

Required Tasks:
 Use data tools to increase tracking and monitoring of corruption and related criminal
cases.
 Support interventions to better use available open data (including the Direktori Putusan
court decision database and the SIPP case tracking system) to facilitate better quality
corruption judgments.
 Support the adoption and implementation of the International Framework for Court
Excellence in the Special Courts on Corruption Crimes.17
 Support performance audits within the Supreme Court focusing on standards of court
services, using the International Framework for Court Excellence and/or the Ministry of
Civil Service Management and Bureaucracy Reform’s Assessment System for
Bureaucracy Reform.18
 Technical assistance and training to improve the SIPP case tracking system to include
more sectoral and sub-sectoral tags (i.e., corruption cases involving the environment in
addition to other classifications for the education and health sectors) to improve research
and analysis of cases by the GOI and the public.

Sub-sub-IR 1.1.1b: Reduced sentencing discrepancies in corruption cases.

The KPK, while effective in tackling grand–scale, high-profile corruption cases at the national
level, has limits upon its authority and resources concentrated in Jakarta. Prosecuting rampant
corruption at the sub-national level as well as lesser-scale corruption and public integrity cases
are generally within the purview of the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) as public prosecutor. In
2009, the national legislature adopted an amendment to the Law on the Special Court for

17 The International Framework for Court Excellence is a quality management system by the US National Center for
State Courts-led International Consortium on Court Excellence designed to help courts improve their performance. It
represents an all-encompassing approach to achieving court excellence, rather than a more limited focus on particular

Corruption Crimes.19 This amendment further expands the jurisdiction of the Special Courts to
hear all corruption cases governed under special laws on corruption and related crimes, not
included in the general Criminal Code.

The successful prosecution of these types of cases by public prosecutors contributes greatly to
overall public integrity. However, while the KPK is able to boast of a 100% conviction rate,20 the
AGO which handles significantly more cases from all 34 provinces has a lower conviction rate,
contributing to public perception that the AGO may not be doing enough to combat corruption.

However, the conviction rate does not tell the whole story in terms of successful prosecution. The
consistency and length of sentences requested by prosecutors and sentences eventually
rendered by judges both play a key role in determining the effectiveness of anti-corruption law
enforcement. A 2014 study of corruption crimes by Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) and
Yayasan Lembaga Bantuan Hukum Indonesia (YLBHI, the Indonesian Legal Aid Foundation)
shows significant sentencing disparity and a trend of law enforcement actors, primarily public
prosecutors under the AGO and judges, rendering light sentencing in corruption crimes.21 This
has raised doubts on the part of both the public and anti-corruption CSOs that law enforcement
has effectively brought deterrent effects to curb corruption.

This study highlights three factors that have caused disparity in corruption crimes sentencing: 1)
the absence of clear and effective sentencing guidelines for prosecutors and judges; 2) a lack of
clarity in the underlying corruption crimes laws, particularly in the issues of imprisonment in lieu of
financial penalty; and 3) unethical conduct by prosecutors and judges.

Currently, there are no common sentencing guidelines for corruption cases. This is necessary to
instill greater public confidence in the courts as well as the public prosecutors in the fight against
corruption. The lack of consistent guidelines leaves the court and the public prosecutor open to
charges of favoritism in punishing those convicted of corruption and related crimes. Requiring the
application of sentencing guidelines will reduce the opportunities for improper influence over a
judge’s decision on penalties. Effective coordination between the KPK and the AGO as
prosecutors to properly bring corruption indictments, and the Supreme Court with all the Special
Courts of Corruption Crimes to properly adjudicate them in accordance with the laws, will help set
sentencing standards.

The Contractor must design and implement, in collaboration with partners, including the
Supreme Court, the Special Courts for Corruption Cases, AGO, KPK, the Judicial Commission
(Komisi Yudisial), Komisi Kejaksaan (Prosecutorial Commission), other justice sector state
actors, and relevant CSOs, an intervention to address sentencing discrepancies in corruption
cases. This work should also encourage closer participation of relevant CSOs, including
universities/law schools (See Sub-sub-Result 1.1.1c below).

19 Law No. 46/2009.

20 The conviction rate for a prosecutor is the number of convictions divided by the number of criminal cases
prosecuted.

ordinary appeal (kasasi#) in 2013”, The Supreme Court's Annual Report 2013 p. 55.Sentencing disparity is defined as
“a form of unequal treatment that is often of unexplained cause and is at least incongruous, unfair and disadvantaging
in consequence” (see Alfred Blumstein, et al. Research on Sentencing: The Search for Reform, Volume II (1983)). It is
important to distinguish disparity from differences that arise due to legitimate use of discretion in the application of the
law and those differences that arise due to discrimination or other unexplained causes unrelated to the issues found in
the specific criminal case, including ethical violations and bribery.

Required Tasks:
 Support the Supreme Court and AGO to develop and implement common sentencing
guidelines for corruption cases.
 Support effective coordination between the KPK, AGO and other law enforcement entities
to strengthen corruption indictments.
 Support the Supreme Court, including the Special Courts on Corruption Crimes, to
properly adjudicate corruption cases in accordance with the laws.
 Facilitate the participation of CSOs in the development and implementation of the
common sentencing guidelines for corruption cases.

Sub-sub-IR 1.1.1c: Improved anti-corruption education in tertiary institutions.

A number of law schools in Indonesia, such as the University of Indonesia (UI) and University of
Gadjah Mada (UGM), have established autonomous legal studies centers that carry out research
and advocacy on anti-corruption policies as well as exercise a monitoring role on the
performance of government institutions, including courts and prosecutors’ offices.22 USAID’s
E2J (Educating and Equipping Tomorrow’s Justice Reformers) activity has also helped eight law
schools, including the two mentioned above, establish practice-oriented legal clinics focusing in a
number of legal areas, including anti-corruption.23

Anti-corruption legal clinics have been run quite well in the law schools of UI and UGM. Their
better access and connection to justice and accountability CSOs, as well as with government
justice sector institutions and private law firms, have provided comparative advantage in terms of
understanding, consolidating and strategizing contemporary issues regarding anti-corruption
policies and movements in Indonesia.

The CEGAH Contractor must build on the early success of these anti-corruption centers and
legal clinics in both law schools to maintain and expand them within and beyond both
universities. A key to the success of legal clinics and centers in Indonesia is the connections and
relationships between civil society and universities. These relationships allow for students to
access practical legal education, but also can strengthen civil society analysis, research, and
advocacy in anti-corruption. The Contractor must work to expand and strengthen anti-corruption
clinics, a combination of efforts from both universities and CSOs, to support a strong network
across Indonesia. This activity can be done in coordination and collaboration with Department of
Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) Australia through the Australia-Indonesia Partnership for
Justice II (AIPJ II) (See Section C.9.1).

The Contractor must also align its activities with the Indonesian Network for Clinical Legal
Education - INCLE24 that was established under the E2J Program. Its goals are to support the
growth and development of clinical legal education in Indonesia, and to provide professional
development opportunities for clinical lecturers and CSO professionals supporting the work of

22 University of Indonesia Law School established MaPPI (Court and Justice Sector Watch) that can be accessed
here: http://www.pemantauperadilan.or.id, and Gadjah Mada University has PUKAT (Anti-Corruption Study Center)
that can be accessed here: http://pukat.hukum.ugm.ac.id.
23 The E2J program (2011-2015) has four highly interrelated components: clinical legal education, research projects
relevant to issues of law reform, curriculum development, and support for civil society organizations. Each component
serves to reinforce and enhance the effectiveness of the others. At the core of the program are the law clinics, which
provide students with a crucial opportunity to develop their practical legal skills. E2J is supporting the law faculties of
eight leading Indonesian universities to develop clinics that offer students hands-on experience in civil law, criminal
law, anti-corruption law and public legal education on environmental, women’s, and children’s issues. The law clinics
bring law faculties together with civil society organizations and formal legal institutions to provide a forum for students
to apply their theoretical knowledge in a practical setting.

legal clinics.25 The establishment of this network not only strengthens the partnership between
existing clinics and their CSO partners it also contributes to the development of ideas, teaching
methods, and social justice initiatives. Furthermore, it also contributes to stronger legal education
in Indonesia through creating a forum for collaboration and information sharing among university
and CSO partners, and it fosters the growth of new clinics both within and outside the current E2J
structure.

The Contractor must continuously improve, adjust, disseminate, and introduce for use in UI,
UGM and other universities the anti-corruption modules developed and referenced in the legal
clinics. Anti-corruption education in law schools is also desirable to build cadres of professionals.
They will enter the workforce as prosecutors and judges, armed with the necessary knowledge to
quickly perform their work, and also as CSO activists that actively monitor the performance of
prosecutors and judges. Both types of professionals are necessary to render effective sentences
for corruption crimes and to curb sentencing disparity as described under Sub-sub-Result 1.1.1b
above.

Education on corruption and related criminal matters is also needed by the media and CSO
advocates to understand the evidence and elements necessary to bring and file corruption
cases, and to understand the decision-making process that prosecutors must use in deciding
whether to prosecute under the law against corruption or the general criminal law. With such
knowledge, these stakeholders, particularly GOI agencies themselves, will better communicate
with the public the true picture of efforts by the GOI to combat corruption and will more effectively
advocate for further reforms.

Required Tasks:
 Support an outreach strategy to campaign and mainstream the necessity for integrating
anti-corruption modules that emphasizes on evidence-based and experiential learning
into tertiary education curricula all across Indonesia through the Ministry of Higher
Education and Research and Technology. This task must be carried out in collaboration
and/or coordination with other USAID/Indonesia higher education activities.
 Support the development and strengthening of university/CSO anti-corruption networks
to strengthen anti-corruption legal education clinics (including through the use of
paralegals), and to produce high quality research and analysis on judicial reform
(including the use of open data sources such as Direktori Putusan and SIPP), and to
develop outreach strategy to further disseminate the research and analysis.
 Support the building of relationships between private sector entities and CSOs and NGOs
through the use of USAID’s mechanisms, such as the Broad Agency Announcement
(BAA) Development Innovation Accelerator, to further promote anti-corruption education
within and beyond universities.

C.4.2 COMPONENT 2 (Sub-intermediate result 1.1.2): Key GOI corruption prevention

institutions strengthened.

“Key GOI corruption prevention institutions” include but are not limited to: the Corruption
Eradication Commission (KPK), the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK), the Ministry of Civil Service
Management and Bureaucracy Reform (KemenPANRB), ministry Inspectorate Generals (IGs),

25 The objectives of INCLE are: a. To create a connecting forum between lecturers and CSOs that will strengthen
the cooperation between law clinics and CSOs; b. To establish a forum to develop ideas, narratives, new teaching
methods, and social justice initiatives within the Indonesian perspective; c. To disseminate the comprehensive and
unique characteristics of legal clinics; d. To promote the publication of academic and practical application materials to
strengthen legal clinics and network activities; e. To have a Law Clinic Congress attend at least one international
conference annually; and f. To annually host a national and/or international conference in Indonesia for the
strengthening and sharing of ideas for the betterment of clinical legal education.

the Development and Finance Oversight Agency (BPKP), Regional Oversight Agencies
(BAWASDA), the Civil Service Commission (KASN), the Ombudsman (ORI), and the Central
Information Commission (KIP).

Under this contract, USAID will build on its current and past work in this area to continue to
strengthen the ability of these GOI accountability agencies to prevent corruption, through
technical assistance and training. The activities will look for targets of opportunity, working with
reformers in whichever of these agencies demonstrate the greatest commitment to principles of
clean governance.

Component 2 has four elements (sub-sub-intermediate results), as follows:

 Sub-sub-IR 1.1.2a: Strengthened integrated actions to prevent corruption by GOI

institutions.
 Sub-sub-IR 1.1.2b: Strengthened administrative reform efforts, such as strengthening
internal controls systems and improving civil service recruitment and promotion
processes.
 Sub-sub-IR 1.1.2c: Enhanced engagement by accountability agencies with the media
and civil society on corruption prevention campaigns.
 Sub-sub-IR1.1.2d: Strengthened prevention of corruption in budget planning and
execution by selected sub-national governments, by following up audit findings.

Required Indicators:
 Number of government officials receiving USG-supported anti-corruption training.
(Standard Indicator No. 2.2.4-2)
 Number of mechanisms for external oversight of public resource use supported by USG
assistance. (Standard Indicator No. 2.2.4-4)
 Number of USG-supported anti-corruption measures implemented. (Standard Indicator
No. 2.2.4-7)

Suggested Indicators:
 Average scores on pre- and post-training questionnaires of government officials receiving
USG-supported anti-corruption training.
 Number of complaints about assisted GOI institutions received by the National Complaint
Handling System.
 Number of implemented MOUs between assisted GOI accountability institutions.
 Percentage compliance of assisted GOI ministries/agencies with policies in support of the
Grand Design on Bureaucracy Reform.
 Number of strategic alliances between media/CSOs and assisted accountability
agencies.
 Number of public awareness products developed by assisted accountability agencies
which are picked up by media and CSOs.
 BPK audit opinion on accounting compliance of assisted sub-national governments.
 Number of BPK audit findings on assisted sub-national governments.
 KPK scoring of assisted sub-national governments.

Sub-sub-IR 1.1.2a: Strengthened integrated actions to prevent corruption by GOI

institutions.

The Contractor must help develop networks and systems among the various accountability
agencies in Indonesia, not limited to the key accountability agencies mentioned above, but
perhaps also including other strategic agencies such as the Financial Services Authority
26
 RFP NO. SOL-497-15-000025
CEGAH

(Otoritas Jasa Keuangan, OJK). OJK has worked with the Financial Transaction Reporting and
Analysis Center (PPATK) to prevent money laundering, and OJK is also beginning to monitor the
implementation of National Health Insurance (JKN) by the Social Insurance Implementing
Agency (BPJS). The use of science and technology tools provides additional opportunities to
improve transparency and accountability reforms. For example, the development of real or near
real time reporting of instances where corruption has or can occur can serve as both an
enforcement and prevention tool. Science and technology tools can also be used to develop
coordination and collaboration networks and systems among these various accountability
agencies allowing for the sharing of information, data, and expertise, resulting in the increased
ability of accountability stakeholders to strengthen the prevention and prosecution of corruption
and related crimes. Such networks/systems can address gaps and weaknesses in existing
systems that may otherwise not be noticeable when viewed through the lens of a single agency.
Furthermore, such networks/ systems will allow for cooperative efforts and the sharing of
knowledge and expertise that will enable accountability agency staff to exchange lessons
learned and investigative techniques to improve their professional capacities.

One of the drawbacks of the multiplicity of these agencies is that their efforts are not coordinated
and mutually reinforcing. For example, at present the BPK and ministry IGs conduct many
overlapping audits, a situation that could be avoided through better inter-agency coordination.
Particularly for the assistance to key ministry IGs, the Contractor must work in a way to reinforce
USAID’s other investments in maternal and child health, water and sanitation, workforce
development, infectious diseases, and biodiversity, conservation and climate change.

Required Tasks:
 Support a comprehensive prevention action strategy by GOI accountability agencies
including prioritization and implementation, with clear engagement of the KPK’s
coordination role and authorities so it would be linked better to prosecution. This will
include support of GOI efforts to implement Inpres No. 7/2015 and the National Integrity
System (SIN).
 Support key accountability agencies to strengthen compliance with existing corruption
prevention mechanisms, for example the annual wealth reports (LHKPN) and gratuities
reports by government officials.
 Support stronger integrated action among the key accountability agencies to prevent
fraud, waste and abuse in flagship government programs such as national health
insurance (run by BPJS), health subsidies (Kartu Sehat), education subsidies (Kartu
Pintar), and/or forestry and environmental issues (such as: overlapping mining licenses;
illegal logging; or illegal, unreported and unregulated [IUU] fishing).
 Provide capacity building and training to enhance these accountability institutions’
professional knowledge in order to leverage capabilities and tools to prevent corruption
and related crimes.
 Support accountability agencies in improving the quality and implementation of their
whistleblower policies.

Sub-sub-IR 1.1.2b: Strengthened administrative reform efforts, such as strengthening

internal controls systems and improving civil service recruitment and promotion
processes.

Corruption and malfeasance continue to seriously undermine the quality, equity and
responsiveness of public services. Accountability is needed to ensure that government resources
are spent wisely, effectively and in ways that benefit the poor and vulnerable. Accordingly, the
development of skills such as risk identification and management, vulnerability to corruption
assessments (VCAs), corrective action programs, and other tools are necessary to enable these

27
 RFP NO. SOL-497-15-000025
CEGAH

agencies to internally identify such problems and address them. It is preferable if such efforts
involve IGs in the identification of problems and implementation of reforms, in order to strengthen
their role within ministries/agencies, but if that proves infeasible assistance to these agencies can
proceed without the direct participation of IGs.

In order to complement the activities of other Mission technical offices, the Contractor must offer
assistance to IGs in ministries critical to the work of those offices, such as the Ministry of Culture
and Primary and Secondary Education, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Environment and
Forestry, and the Ministry of Fisheries and Maritime Affairs. There are possible sensitivities with
USAID partnering both with ministries on sectoral goals as well as with their IGs on reducing
corruption. However, IGs should be seen by their ministries as partners, not adversaries, in order
to improve accountability, and USAID will only work with the IGs if invited by them to do so. If this
work sparks issues with their ministries that could potentially disrupt implementation of sectoral
activities, USAID will strive to negotiate a win-win solution with those ministries.

Bureaucracy reform is a GOI priority. The government enacted Law No. 5/2014 on the Civil
Service to promote reforms in the way the civil service is managed.26 The law established a new
Civil Service Commission (Komisi Aparatur Sipil Negara, KASN) to ensure the application of
merit principles in all phases of human resource management of the Indonesian public sector,
especially in the recruitment and placement of approximately 12,000 senior career executives in
all government institutions, and to supervise the implementation of a code of ethics and a code of
conduct. As a new institution, KASN needs support in building its institutional capacity to cope
with the challenges and high expectations of the Indonesian public for a clean and efficient
government.

In order to make internal oversight more efficient and effective, KemenPANRB, BPKP and the IG
Association have drafted a new law on the Government Internal Monitoring System that has
included input from the public.27 This draft law has been listed by the national legislature (DPR)
in the 2015-2019 National Legislation Program (PROLEGNAS), but has not yet begun to be
debated as of May 2015. The draft strengthens the independence of BPKP and its provincial
branches, ministry/agency IGs, and provincial and district Regional Oversight Agencies
(BAWASDA) to prevent waste, fraud and abuse of public funds.

The Contractor must enhance bureaucratic transparency and accountability by strengthening

administrative reform efforts led by KemenPANRB, particularly in key ministries that partner with
USAID in other development objectives (DOs). These efforts will accelerate implementation of
the national agenda on government transparency, improve internal government monitoring, and
strengthen government performance accountability. This could include initiatives such as
improving civil service recruitment and promotion processes and working with BPK, BPKP and
key ministry IGs to strengthen internal controls systems, whether or not the draft law on the
Government Internal Monitoring System is passed by the DPR. Working with BPK, BPKP and
key ministry IGs will help ensure that national government spending on public services is more
effective and efficient, contributing to the achievement of USAID’s other sectoral goals as well as
improving governance.

The Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) is the GOI’s supreme audit institution and conducts financial
and performance audits, reporting results to the national legislature (DPR). However, the BPK is
constrained in several ways: 1) it lacks specialized expertise among its staff in many areas of
forensic investigation and in the conduct of non-financially related performance audits of

26 An unofficial English translation of this law is included as Annex 1, see Section J.

27 An unofficial English translation of this draft law (Rancangan Undang-Undang Sistem Pengawasan Internal
Pemerintah) is included as Annex 2, see Section J.

CEGAH

agencies; 2) it is limited to conducting audits “after” the subject period of performance; and 3) it
lacks the authority to recommend (and compel) changes to correct vulnerabilities before harm
happens, whether financial or not. BPK’s new leadership has envisioned that slowly it will shift its
focus to more performance audits. Performance audits better measure outcomes and the
effective use of public funds. In addition, the new leadership of BPK has also envisioned relating
the use of public funds with the welfare condition (level of poverty) of the people.28

The Contractor must assist the BPK with the development of professional skills in forensic
accounting and investigation, the understanding of illicit financial flows, identification of
vulnerabilities to corruption and other risk identification and management capabilities. The BPK
at present has about 6,000 staff spread across 34 provinces. Their ability to analyze and report
on non-financial performance standards of public agencies and services needs to be
strengthened. While legislation may be required to grant authority to conduct inspections, and
recommend and/or compel changes to reduce or address vulnerabilities and risks, such skills are
needed among the BPK staff to prepare them when such authority is granted.

The Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia (ORI)29 has the mandate to monitor the quality of
public services and is responsible for collecting and resolving citizen complaints regarding the
provision of public services. It receives thousands of such complaints annually, providing a
means for the public to hold the government accountable. The Contractor must assist ORI to
address deficiencies in its legal authority and human resource capacity.

The Central Information Commission (KIP) was established by Law No. 14/2008 on public
information disclosures, an important sign of the Indonesian government’s desire to pursue
transparency. The Contractor must assist KIP to overcome its limited human resource capacity
so that it could play a strategic role in disseminating information related to government budgets
and spending.

Required Tasks:
 Support KemenPANRB, the Ombudsman and the Office of the President in the
development and implementation of the National Complaint Handling System as the
flagship program under Component 2 to deter and prevent corruption as well as to
improve quality of agencies’ services delivery, including the integration of previous
UKP4-managed efforts using the OGP – LAPOR application.
 Support KASN and other GOI efforts to implement Law No. 5/2014 on the Civil Service,
including transparent and merit-based recruitment and promotion of civil service officers
at all levels.
 Support KemenPANRB-led efforts to implement administrative reforms within
ministries/agencies. This could include promoting annual ethics training, implementing
fraud control mechanisms, and streamlining conflict of interest regulations and/or codes.
 Support collaboration of key government accountability agencies such as KemenPANRB
and BPKP to encourage ministries/agencies at the national and sub-national levels to
reduce red tape and improve the quality and efficiency of public service delivery, thereby
reducing opportunities for corruption.
 Support KemenPANRB in better measuring government performance by: aligning it with
budgeting and programming; adopting simplified measures that are more pragmatic, less

28 Ibid.
29 The Office of the Ombudsman was created by a Presidential Decree in 2000 to receive complaints about
government services, but it had very limited authority and resources. Legislation in September 2008 established it as
an independent state body, an elevation in status that should enable it to do more. The recently passed Law on Public
Service also provides the possibility of an increased role for the Ombudsman in resolving public complaints related to
public services.

duplicative, and more transparent; and strengthening coordination among the institutions
that work on these issues (KemenPANRB, Ministry of Finance, BAPPENAS, BPK and
BPKP).
 Support government efforts to promote data transparency, including establishment of an
effective nationwide information support system for public services.

Sub-sub-IR 1.1.2c: Enhanced engagement by accountability agencies with the media and
civil society on corruption prevention campaigns.

A key ingredient in building public confidence and trust in reform is a well-informed and educated
public. Without revealing particular vulnerabilities, public agencies can still share their reform
goals, objectives, and progress with an informed media and CSO sector. This allows for better
civil society analysis, thus better informing government agencies and also creating a better
informed public which can support government institutions, especially when those institutions are
under threat because they are making difficult reforms. Data alone does not necessarily build
trust and confidence if it is not well understood. In fact, too much data and insufficient analysis
can create confusion and mistrust. It is the role of the media and CSOs to help identify and gather
data, analyze it, and express it in understandable terms to the public. Public agencies need to
understand the role of media and CSOs, and understand that a good relationship with those
entities can also benefit the public agency.

This sub-sub-IR is intended to enhance engagement by the accountability agencies with the
media and civil society on more integrated corruption prevention campaigns. Greater
involvement of the media and civil society in these campaigns can enhance their effectiveness,
magnifying the corruption prevention messages communicated by these agencies and reaching
a greater share of the public. The Contractor must coordinate this work with accountability
agencies on media and CSO outreach with the direct support to media and CSOs in Sub-IR
1.1.3. For instance, under Sub-IR 1.1.3 sub-awards can be made to media and CSOs that
complement the work under this Sub-sub-IR with accountability agencies on their outreach
efforts.

Required Tasks:
 Support key accountability agencies’ public communication departments to promote their
efforts in fighting and preventing corruption.
 Support accountability agencies to develop collaborative prevention efforts that involve
media and CSOs, to follow up on audit findings and recommendations, highlight and
analyze bureaucracy reform challenges, and promote social auditing of key public
services.
 Promote better public access to information on government policies, budgets,
expenditures, and evaluations.
 Support media and CSOs to develop data and conduct research to directly assist GOI
accountability agencies with more effective inter-agency collaboration and corruption
prevention.

Sub-sub-Result 1.1.2d: Strengthened prevention of corruption in budget planning and

execution by selected sub-national governments, by following up audit findings.

Anticorruption efforts need to develop deeper connections regarding how corruption can impact
other public service sectors, such as in health care, education and the environment (marine and
forestry). This activity will involve seeking opportunities within these sectors by identifying
reformers, champions and openings to pursue anti-corruption work. For example, in the
environmental sector, the GOI has implemented a number of accountability measures in the

30
 RFP NO. SOL-497-15-000025
CEGAH

timber industry and fisheries. Efforts such as the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative
(EITI) have provided tools and data by which CSOs and other actors can better monitor and
advocate for reforms. Similarly, OGP provides an opportunity to increase open and transparent
data, which CSOs, universities, GOI, and other stakeholders can analyze and use to identify
vulnerabilities in the health, education and environment sectors and to support evidence-based
solutions to prevent corruption and other illicit activities.

While corruption cases in Indonesia are discussed on a daily basis at the national level, these
discussions often do not clarify the impact of those cases on individual citizens. This contributes
to a lack of local community understanding about the important link between corruption
prevention and improved public service delivery.

This sub-sub-IR is intended to strengthen prevention of corruption in selected sub-national

governments, building on the national efforts outlined above with accountability agencies, the
media and civil society. This will include following up audit findings in certain CDCS priority
regions to strengthen fraud prevention capacity and coordination in budget planning and
execution processes in the sectors of health care (universal health care coverage), education
(vocational education) and the environment (forestry and marine). This will also include efforts to
improve local government accountability for delivering quality public services. Paralleling the
work at the national level, these efforts will increase the effectiveness of local government
spending on key public services.

Required Tasks:
 Support accountability agencies to work with selected local governments to introduce a
comprehensive internal controls framework that adheres to international standards, in
order to reduce opportunities to engage in corrupt practices.
 Support selected local governments to improve public services by following up audit
recommendations, particularly regarding GOI flagship programs in key sectors such as
education, health care, and the environment.
 Assist local government agencies to adopt citizen charters to inform the public about their
rights and provide detailed and clear information about the requirements for obtaining a
public service.

C.4.3 COMPONENT 3 (Sub-intermediate result 1.1.3): Civil society initiatives on

accountability increased.

In the past decade Indonesia has witnessed two major conflicts in which the strong support of
CSOs has defended the existence of the KPK. CSO efforts are also critical even in non-crisis
periods. In order to continue and strengthen the movement for increased transparency and
accountability, CSO capacity is key to achieving higher-level accountability results. Sub-sub-IR
1.1.3 emphasizes increased capacity for non-government actors to expand a nascent public
culture of transparency and accountability.

This component continues USAID’s efforts to foster more active and sustainable CSOs which are
better able to research and advocate regarding corruption issues, through technical assistance,
training and strengthening CSO networks. The Contractor must pay particular attention to the
growing involvement of women’s groups in monitoring and holding the government accountable
for its performance. This contract includes a Grants Under Contract mechanism. The Contractor
must provide sub-grants to CSOs to support them in their accountability work and strengthen
their capacity.

This component has two elements (sub-sub-intermediate results):

 Sub-sub IR 1.1.3.a: Increased government adoption of CSO input on transparency and

accountability policies.
 Sub-sub IR 1.1.3.b: Enhanced CSO advocacy capacity at the national and/or
sub-national levels, regarding the accountability sector as well as the areas of health
care, education and/or the environment.

Required Indicators:
 Number of public policies introduced, adopted, repealed, changed or implemented
consistent with citizen input. (Standard Indicator No. 2.4.1-12)
 Number of people affiliated with NGOs receiving USG supported anti-corruption training.
(Standard Indicator No. 2.2.4-5)
 Number of USG-supported evidence-based reports produced. (Custom Indicator No.
4.2.2-3)
 Number of USG-supported media products published based on scientific data. (Custom
Indicator No. 4.2.3-2)

Suggested Indicators:
 Score on milestone scale regarding GOI improvement of transparency and accountability
policies.
 Average score of assisted CSOs on the CSO Advocacy Capacity Index (ACI).
 Number of complaints filed by assisted CSOs to accountability institutions regarding
sub-national service delivery issues in health care, education and the environment.

Sub-sub IR 1.1.3.a: Increased government adoption of CSO input on transparency and

accountability policies.

The GOI has made strong public commitments to increase transparency and accountability,
including through its founding membership in and recent chairmanship of the Open Government
Partnership (OGP). It has developed an OGP National Action Plan to fulfill those commitments,
but implementation remains inconsistent. The same can be said for implementation of the Grand
Design on Bureaucracy Reform and the National Anti-Corruption Strategy.

CSOs are critical to holding governments accountable and creating a culture of public awareness
around accountability issues to support corruption prevention. Public demand and oversight for
greater accountability and transparency has proven to be a critical factor to enable Indonesia’s
anti-corruption efforts to continue to move forward.

The Contractor must provide sub-grants to CSOs to improve their policy research, strengthen
their coalitions, and increase opportunities for policy dialogue with the GOI. To maximize impact,
these sub-grants must be linked to CEGAH’s efforts with the judicial sector and accountability
agencies outlined in Sections C.4.1 and C.4.2 above. An important feature of this activity is
enhancing relationships between non-state actors - such as the media, CSOs, and the private
sector - and public agencies to obtain mutual goals and objectives to improve transparency and
accountability in Indonesia.

Required Tasks:
 Support dialogue, consultations and strengthening relationships/networks among civil
society, private sector, media, and government regarding transparency and
accountability policies and practices.

32
 RFP NO. SOL-497-15-000025
CEGAH

 Direct support to GoI or through CSOs in research, analysis and dissemination of findings
to support GOI in evidence-based decision-making regarding transparency and
accountability policies, including (when appropriate) gender-disaggregated data on the
impact of those policies and of corrupt practices.
 Technical assistance and training to CSOs to improve their policy advocacy capacity,
including regarding gender aspects of accountability.

Sub-sub IR 1.1.3.b: Enhanced CSO advocacy capacity at the national and/or sub-national
levels, regarding the accountability sector as well as the areas of health care, education
and/or the environment.

It is important for media and CSOs to understand the elements of corruption and related criminal
activity in order to identify and analyze the effectiveness of reforms and anti-corruption efforts
across sectors. Being able to accurately understand the costs and detrimental impacts of
corruption and effectively communicate this to the public is important to continue building public
demand for accountability, along with suggesting concrete action plans for advocacy to properly
voice out the public concerns. Technology and the use of social networks are keys to refining
measurements and identifying actual instances and sources of corruption. The development of
better analytics and data can be used to measure impacts and successes of various
interventions.

The Contractor must provide sub-grants to CSOs to continue and expand their existing work on
exposing and preventing corruption. To maximize impact, these sub-grants must be linked to
CEGAH’s efforts with the judicial sector and accountability agencies outlined in Sections C.4.1
and C.4.2 above. Along with this financial support, the Contractor must also provide training and
capacity building to expand these CSOs’ organizational, research, advocacy and communication
capacity.

Required Tasks:
 Technical assistance and sub-grants to civil society organizations to support their
corruption prevention, monitoring and research work, including the gender aspects of this
work.
 Provide targeted training and capacity support for women’s organizations and their
leaders, to improve institutional capacity and efficacy regarding anti-corruption advocacy.
 Support the integration, improvement and strengthening of CSOs/networks on
accountability, legal reform, and anti-corruption at national and sub-national levels (in
conjunction with university/CSO networks in Sub-sub-Result 1.1.1c).
 Support private sector associations that accommodate principles of good business
practices, accountability, and corporate social responsibility.
 Support CSO initiatives to identify and advocate for Indonesian institutions that promote
accountability.
 Support initiatives to improve accountability and law enforcement in sectors such as
health care, education and the environment.

C.5 MONITORING, EVALUATION AND LEARNING

The development of better analytics and data can be used to measure impacts and successes of
various interventions. Randomized controlled trials may be particularly useful especially when
conducted within sub-units of public agencies to determine the effectiveness of interventions.
Risk identification, analysis and management offer opportunities to measure efforts to prevent
corruption by identifying specific reforms made. In this respect, reference is made to the use of a

33
 RFP NO. SOL-497-15-000025
CEGAH

“fix rate” in which vulnerabilities are identified and as they are closed a checklist is made of
reforms.

The Contractor must also support USAID’s approach to Collaborating, Learning, and Adapting
(CLA). The three key elements include:
 Collaboration - Establishing systems and networks of communication and knowledge
sharing between GOI agencies, USAID, and other key stakeholders;
 Learning - Monitoring indicators and qualitative information, generating systems for data
analysis, and assessing progress; and
 Adapting - Utilizing evidence to enhance (and adjust if necessary) project management
and performance to strengthen results.

Joint examination of the progress and challenges of CEGAH and building common
understanding on accountability issues will contribute to improving the program results and
strengthen stakeholder understanding of accountability issues in Indonesia. In addition, the
process of joint learning is another way to build capacity of GOI, CSOs, universities, the private
sector, and other development partners and stakeholders.

Required Tasks:
 Accumulate learning by writing case studies on innovative accountability activities, and
occasional case studies on emerging issues, or by using another methodology (e.g.
qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods evaluation) to collect lessons, improve
knowledge of effective programming, and enhance learning. These studies will be
discussed at stakeholder meetings and used by stakeholders to facilitate learning. The
purpose will be to share lessons learned to adapt future activities and also provide an
intensive body of knowledge for learning purposes.

 Facilitate and foster dialogue, visioning, and action planning around better coordination
among the state and non-state actors in the accountability sector to better use available
laws and regulations in more effectively combating corruption at all government levels
and areas, particularly corruption in the health care, education, marine and forestry
sectors.

 Document good practices to develop organizational learning on gender equality, as a

lack of staff understanding is a frequent issue leading to a lack of gender integration.
Improve knowledge management to teach gender integration to project staff and
implementing a culture of knowledge sharing within the project to encourage and
recognize staffs who successfully integrate gender into their work.

 Share results of learning with key stakeholders by providing organization,

management, and participation in events to enhance feedback loops and improve
effectiveness. The Contractor must prepare and present case studies from the
accumulated learning during the project lifecycle, organize logistics for the events, cover
participant costs of non-USAID participants, facilitate, take notes, provide
communications material pre- and post-event to the media, prepare and distribute
materials, including online platforms such as Web sites and social media, and organize
the agenda and content, including presentations, round table discussions, technical
discussions, networking opportunities etc. (together with participating stakeholders).

34
 RFP NO. SOL-497-15-000025
CEGAH

 Monthly update report and quarterly newsletters, (gauge frequency with current
needs of USAID, GOI, and partners) containing information such as updates on major
activities in the project, lessons learned, case studies, and success stories highlighting
results and impact as well as innovative work that can advance development faster,
cheaper or more sustainably. The Contractor must submit monthly update reports for
USAID, and prepare quarterly newsletters and develop a distribution list of stakeholders
with whom to share the newsletter.

Sustainability and CLA

USAID’s Project Design Sustainability Analysis Tool poses the following questions that should
be addressed by projects to assess their sustainability.30
 Is there demonstrable local demand and ownership, where a broad segment of the
community has a stake currently or potentially in ensuring that the activity or service
continues after the USAID project ends?
 How will USAID work to build up the skills and capacity of local stakeholders whose
involvement will be critical for maintaining development gains after the project ends?
 How can USAID nurture effective institutions – governmental, civil society, and private
sector – to analyze, implement, evaluate, and publicize activities in the relevant
development areas?
 How will USAID ensure that relevant activities or services are gradually tied to
sustainable financing models, either through private-sector participation or through
sustainable, publicly managed arrangements?
 What are the financial costs of the project, its recurrent costs, and its maintenance
capability and costs (if applicable), and will future revenues will be adequate?
 If the project is in support of the host partner government, has the project determined if
this activity is represented in that government’s short term or long term planning process?
And does the project support or contribute to the achievement of a partner government’s
development strategy? If it is a local civil society or private sector organization, has the
activity been reflected in the organization’s planning documents and proposals to other
donors?

The USAID/Indonesia DRG Office conducted a sustainability analysis consistent with ADS 201
during the PAD approval process for Development Objective 1 “Democratic Governance
Strengthened” which authorizes CEGAH. As described above, the Contractor must use the CLA
approach as the framework for promoting sustainability in CEGAH.

The Contractor must develop tools to monitor performance and capture learning (See Section
F.5.6 MONITORING AND EVALUATION PLAN). These tools must be included in the
Contractor’s Monitoring and Evaluation Plan (Section F.5.6). The Contractor will have the
opportunity to build on and adapt resources and tools for CLA and monitoring and evaluation for
CEGAH which are available in USAID/Washington’s Learning Lab in the Policy, Planning and
Learning (PPL) Bureau.

USAID will arrange an independent midterm performance evaluation and a final impact
evaluation to assess the progress and achievements of CEGAH and to identify lessons learned
through a mechanism outside and independent of CEGAH. The CEGAH Contractor must
collaborate with the team conducting these evaluations by providing relevant data and

30 The Project Design Sustainability Analysis Tool. at: http://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/pnadz042.pdf

35
 RFP NO. SOL-497-15-000025
CEGAH

information. Upon request the Contractor must provide logistical and administrative support to
the evaluations (e.g. organizing external meetings to review evaluation results).

It is anticipated that the final impact evaluation will be based on an experimental design using
randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with treatment and control groups, to maximize attribution of
observed changes to CEGAH’s interventions. The CEGAH Contractor must cooperate with
USAID and any external teams involved in the impact evaluation in any ways necessary to
ensure the successful completion of that evaluation, including: designing and implementing
interventions in such a way as to make them amenable to an RCT-based impact evaluation
methodology, selecting treatment and control groups according to the agreed-upon impact
evaluation methodology, and facilitating the collection of relevant baseline and end line data. The
intervention on which CEGAH will focus its independent impact evaluation of this activity falls
under Component 2 (sub-intermediate result 1.1.2): “Key GOI corruption prevention institutions
strengthened”, which represents half of CEGAH resources. Potential intervention for RCT
should feature activity under Required Tasks of Component 2 that is deemed to have a
meaningful impact to relate to the whole CEGAH Intermediate Result on community of
accountability improved in general and in particular to sub-IR 1.1.2 on key GOI prevention
institution strengthened.

Required and suggested indicators for the IR and each Sub-IR are found in Section C.4 above.
The final list of indicators, including the required indicators listed in Section C.4, will be
determined in the contract’s Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP). Using these indicators, the
Contractor must develop baseline data, monitor, and together with program partners, assess
progress annually on intervention implementation.

C.6. GRANTS UNDER CONTRACT

The Contractor must provide grants and in-kind assistance to qualified partners in order to (a)
provide partners with the resources needed to support their organizational development, and (b)
support the expansion of activities of partners that are consistent with activity objectives. Where
grant support is provided to government institutions, such support will be limited to in-kind
support. The Contractor is expected to award between 40-50 awards over the life of the activity.
Total funds to be disbursed to partners as grants should not exceed $10 million.
Approximately $5.5 million of this total is for the CSO support in Component 3; the remainder is
to assist with implementation of Components 1 and 2.

The Contractor will not be judged according to how many awards are issued in a given period, but
rather the efficiency and effectiveness in their use to achieve CEGAH’s highest-level and
lower-level results. The Contractor must award grants where appropriate, in combination with
technical assistance, training, and/or other Contractor inputs toward achievement of specific
goals that respond to expressed local needs and contribute to achievement of the stated results.
The Contractor must ensure that grants comply with USAID’s policy regarding grants under
contract as described in ADS 302.3.4.13.

C.7. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER USAID PROJECTS

USAID anticipates awards in the sectors of Environment, Health, Education, and Science &
Technology. The Contractor must coordinate with activities in these other sectors to address
issues specifically related to accountability in the areas of forestry, marine, universal health care
coverage, infectious disease control, vocational education, and evidence-based decision

36
 RFP NO. SOL-497-15-000025
CEGAH

making. The geographic scope of this project is intentional to follow other USAID sector
investments in these particular areas. The Contractor must collaborate and coordinate with these
USAID activities to ensure a deeper impact and secure investments in these sectors.

In particular, the Contractor should expect to coordinate with the following activities: 1) Program
to Reduce Land-based Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Conserve Valuable Biodiversity in
Carbon-Rich and Biologically Significant Forest and Mangrove Ecosystems in Indonesia
(LESTARI); 2) the marine-focused Sustainable Ecosystems Advanced (SEA); 3) Health activities
on infectious diseases as well as maternal and child health and health systems strengthening
(including addressing universal health care coverage); 4) Education activities supporting
inclusive workforce development; and 5) Science & Technology addressing evidence-based
decision-making.

C.8. ALLIANCE/PARTNERSHIP

As elaborated in this Statement of Work, CEGAH will be implemented in partnership with key
stakeholders: other development partners, CSOs (including women and youth organizations),
academia, and the private sector.

37

CEGAH

C.8.1 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS

On accountability and anti-corruption, there are two major interventions funded by the European
Union (EU). One is implemented by the UNDP in collaboration with Bappenas to set up a
secretariat to develop a national strategy on corruption eradication and oversight. The other is
implemented by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), which is helping various
government agencies – such as Bappenas, KemenkumHAM, the Attorney General’s Office
(AGO), and the Supreme Court – to monitor the implementation of the UN Convention against
Corruption (UNCAC) ratified by Indonesia in 2006. The Contractor must coordinate and
collaborate with these programs to ensure no duplication of activities and harmony of
development partner activities.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) Australia-supported Australia Indonesia
Partnership for Justice (AIPJ II) will continue to work on justice sector reform and anti-corruption
efforts. USAID has been in discussions with Australian officials about coordinating our
accountability activities. USAID, through CEGAH, plans to cooperate with DFAT Australia
investments through AIPJ II to develop a network of anti-corruption centers in universities across
Indonesia (See Section C.4.1). Once mobilized, the activities will develop common work plans
and reporting guidelines to ensure a coordinated approach in this area.

The Korean International Cooperation Agency (KOICA)’s “Accountability and E-Government”

program is exploring opportunities to cooperate in support of increasing accountability and the
use of e-government in Indonesia, recognizing the importance of Science, Technology,
Innovation, and Partnership (STIP) to furthering accountability and transparency. As KOICA
works to develop information and communications technology (ICT) systems in key
accountability ministries, it will work together with Indonesian stakeholders to determine how
paperless processing and e-monitoring systems can improve accountability and transparency to
achieve overall GOI objectives. The Contractor must work with USAID and KOICA to explore the
possibility of extending e-governance and accountability assistance under the Open Government
Partnership (OGP), within which the Republic of Korea, Indonesia and the United States are
already partners.

C.8.2 RELATIONSHIP TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR

Agency policy and the USAID/Indonesia CDCS emphasize the important role of private sector
engagement in complementing official overseas development assistance. Private sector
engagement is important not only to seek potential alternative funding resources, but also to tap
ideas and lessons learned from a key player on the ground, particularly in accountability – an
area in which business, investment and governance intersect. The private sector plays a
dominant role in the Indonesian economy, accounting for 60% of GDP after recovering from the
1997-1998 Asian financial crisis. It is widely recognized that private sector investment is the
driver of sustainable economic growth in the medium to long term. Recognition of the key role of
the private sector is also in line with the priorities set forth in the GOI’s Medium-Term National
Development Plan (RPJMN) that aims for an ambitious annual economic growth rate of eight
percent by the end of 2019, achieved in part through a supportive investment climate attracting
both domestic and international companies. A major challenge to growing such an investment
climate is corruption, and businesses face this governance and accountability challenge in their
day-to-day operations. No single businessperson or company acting alone can address this
challenge; collective action involving the private sector, CSOs and government in combating
bribery and corruption is essential.

38
 RFP NO. SOL-497-15-000025
CEGAH

The Contractor must actively seek to establish partnerships with the private sector that can
support the implementation of CEGAH activities. In particular, these partnerships must be
designed to provide GOI accountability agencies with additional capacity, especially in
corruption prevention, as well as insights into the constraints to trade and investment created by
the prevalence of corrupt practices. USAID/Indonesia may also solicit ideas from multiple
stakeholders, including the private sector, through a non-procurement mechanism called the
Development Innovation Accelerator. The Contractor should consider any prospective ideas
developed through this mechanism to complement CEGAH for co-funding through CEGAH
sub-grants. Contractor partnerships with the private sector can also take the form of collective
action, such as with KADIN’s or APINDO's initiatives in maintaining business ethics and
integrity, or with a group of companies operating in Indonesia named the Committee to Address
Facilitation Payments (CAFP).

C.9. GENDER EQUALITY

Gender equality is a guiding principle of USAID and a critical development objective. USAID is
committed to strengthening women’s rights and strives to increase the contributions women
make to economic, political and social development. USAID highly values the promotion of
gender equality throughout all activities. The Contractor must ensure that all activities are
responsive to gender considerations, and track results benefitting both women and men.
Gender considerations should also be examined through a Theory of Change-based approach.
The gender-specific impacts of interventions, intermediate results, and ultimate results should be
specified within the Development Hypotheses and linked to gender-specific indicators within the
M&E Plan.

CEGAH requires the Contractor to provide a gender and development action agenda that
describes its objectives, gender parity entry points, and activities to ensure that women and other
marginalized groups are being engaged in the anti-corruption movement under CEGAH
particularly in the area where communities, universities and media engagement are being
emphasized.

In 2012 USAID released a Gender Equality and Female Empowerment (GEFE) Policy as the
Agency’s central guidance to achieving the following Agency-wide outcomes:

 Reduce gender disparities in access to, control over and benefit from resources, wealth,
opportunities and services – economic, social, political and cultural;
 Reduce gender-based violence (GBV) and mitigate its harmful effects on individuals; and
 Increase capability of women and girls to realize their rights, determine their life
outcomes, and influence decision making in households, communities, and societies.

IR 1.1 Community of Accountability Improved

The gendered impacts of corruption can take different forms for men and women. Unequal power
relations between women and men make women more vulnerable to the impact. Recently
evidence has emerged that corruption has unique impacts on poor women and girls in a variety of
sectors. Moreover, conceptualization of the definition of corruption is evolving to include sexual
extortion and trafficking as part of money laundering, which are forms of corruption
disproportionately experienced by women. The gendered impacts of corruption can be examined
in three categories: the advancement of rights and access to resources, access to
decision-making power, and protection.

39
 RFP NO. SOL-497-15-000025
CEGAH

Access to and Control over Resources

Corruption reduces public revenue, often resulting in lower levels of spending or even
non-existence of education, healthcare, family benefits and other social services. This has
profound impacts to women’s access to and control over resources, especially to public services,
in at least two ways.

First, resources intended to benefit poor women may be more vulnerable to “grand” corruption,
especially in the form of “leakages,” since this is particularly common with earmarked resources
for marginalized groups. Often, women are forced to be involved in acts of corruption. For
example, those who receive grants are often asked to manipulate the data. Bribes requested for
the delivery of basic services such as health, education and water and sanitation affect women in
a significant way since women are typically the primary caregivers for children and the elderly.
Furthermore, their income level tends to be lower and they have fewer alternatives to acquire
these services.

Second, the perception that women are less able to pay bribes can lead to them being “excused”
from paying bribes. However, this does not always mean that women access the required
services without paying bribes. In many cases they simply cannot access the services since they
are unable to find the adequate entry point to the network where bribes can be paid. They also do
not have access to capital due to lack of collateral. Under these circumstances, corruption in
financial schemes set by governments for women’s economic empowerment has a hugely
negative impact on women as this is their only hope for capital.

Recent efforts in gender mainstreaming have highlighted three good practices as part of
promoting this policy alignment:
 Policy makers need gender-specific information (e.g., disaggregated data);
 Policy makers need to combine targeted anti-corruption policies with efforts to empower
women in governance; and
 Effective gender-sensitive approaches in anti-corruption efforts must include participatory
planning and monitoring activities focused on women.

Access to Decision-making Power

Corruption compounds the already high barriers women face in their empowerment – economic
and otherwise. It stifles women’s voices in accountability mechanisms. This has resulted in
limited access to and even no longer being involved in decision making. When political parties
can be bought and sold and public officials are elected through vote-buying, or when
advancement within the civil service or corporate sector is contingent upon personal connections
rather than merit, there are fewer chances for less fortunate women.

Protection of Women’s Rights

Women’s civil rights are often grossly inequitable and not protected when it comes to key social,
political and economic issues: marriage and divorce, human trafficking, allegations of adultery
and rape, child custody, inheritance, property rights and financial independence, among others.
Corruption severely impacts the extent to which women’s rights are ensured and protected.
Corruption in law enforcement – police and security forces and the justice system – has specific
gender dimensions. For example, corruption can provide protection to trafficking networks of
poor women and girls, and perpetrators of sexual violence can avoid punishment by bribing the
police. In some cases sexual harassment and rape can even be perpetrated by the police. The
processes used by law enforcement institutions to process cases are also vulnerable to
corruption. These processes often rely heavily on evidence that, in cases of sexual extortion –
from harassment to assault – are usually anecdotal, which leaves a lot of room for discretion by

40
 RFP NO. SOL-497-15-000025
CEGAH

officials and, potentially, for bribe-seeking. Since women generally lack access to resources, any
case brought to remedy claims against discrimination will likely be lost if the defendant can pay
off the prosecutors and/or judges involved.

C.10 ACTIVITY MANAGEMENT

C.10.1 USAID MANAGEMENT

Technical direction for the activity will be provided by a Contracting Officer’s Representative
(COR) from the USAID/Indonesia Democracy, Rights, and Governance (DRG) Office. The COR
will be responsible for monitoring the quality and effectiveness of the Contractor's performance
by maintaining close contact with the Contractor's key personnel, the GOI, and other key
counterparts and by reviewing accomplishments against annual work plans. The COR must have
the opportunity to meet weekly with the Contractor's key personnel, discuss activity interventions
and the progress toward achieving performance targets and contract results, and provide
technical direction. When required, the Contractor must deliver professional judgments to USAID
about the effectiveness of personnel and partners employed under the activity.

C.10.2 GENDER-SENSITIVE MANAGEMENT

The Contractor must demonstrate that it takes gender balance seriously in its staffing and staff
requirements, personnel systems, hiring, management, and capacity development principles and
approaches. The Contractor should also strengthen mechanisms to promote gender integration
by assigning staff as gender “focal points” to complement and supplement gender experts’ work
within the activity. The Contractor must also integrate gender in the activity’s work planning cycle
to integrate gender into all activity documents, objectives, performance indicators, and quarterly
reports. In conducting trainings, including those supported by GOI entities, the Contractor must
consider facilities which make it easier for women to participate, including day-care options and
lactation rooms. For trainings, conferences and events, the Contractor must support broad
inclusion of women, the disabled, minorities, and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and
Intersex (LGBTI) persons.

C.11. STAFFING

USAID encourages the use of Indonesian professionals to the greatest extent possible, building
local capacity so that the majority of the activity’s positions are filled by Indonesian staff. Where
qualified Indonesian professionals are not available, the Contractor must consider building the
capacity of senior Indonesian professionals to take over increasing levels of responsibility during
the course of the activity’s duration. Under all circumstances, the Contractor must have requisite
levels of professional expertise to implement the activity. The Contractor must use a combination
of core staff to manage regularly scheduled work and deliverables and bring in additional local or
expatriate short term advisors, experts and specialists to conduct periodic or one-off tasks.

C.11.1 KEY PERSONNEL

The Contractor must identify, recruit, hire, and support appropriate candidates for the key
personnel positions. The Contractor must establish an office and operations in Jakarta and
maintain them through the period of the contract. The Contractor must determine the necessary
mix of staff to carry out the project including utilizing Indonesian staff for core staff positions.

41
 RFP NO. SOL-497-15-000025

C.12. INITIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EXAMINATION (IEE)

An IEE has been prepared and approved in accordance with 22 CFR 216.2 (c) (1) (a) for the
Democratic Governance Project under DO 1. As CEGAH consists primarily of technical
assistance and training, it is not expected to have a significant direct or indirect adverse impact
on the natural or physical environment, qualifying the activity as a categorical exclusion. This
threshold determination, fully documented in the IEE, is for all activities currently planned to be
undertaken by CEGAH. Thus it is not necessary for the Contractor to prepare an Environmental
Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (EMMP).

As required by ADS 204.3.4, the COR will actively monitor the Contractor’s ongoing activities for
compliance with approved IEE recommendations, and direct the modification of end activities
that are not in compliance. An amended environmental examination will be prepared if funding
levels are increased, the time period is extended, or additional activities outside the described
scope of work are added.

SECTION D – PACKAGING AND MARKING

D.1 AIDAR 752.7009 MARKING (JAN 1993)

a) It is USAID policy that USAID-financed commodities and shipping containers, and

project construction sites and other project locations be suitably marked with the USAID
emblem. Shipping containers are also to be marked with the last five digits of the USAID
financing document number. As a general rule, marking is not required for raw materials shipped
in bulk (such as coal, grain, etc.), or for semi-finished products which are not packaged.

b) Specific guidance on marking requirements should be obtained prior to procurement of

commodities to be shipped, and as early as possible for project construction sites and other
project locations. This guidance will be provided through the cognizant technical office indicated
on the cover page of this contract, or by the Mission Director in the Cooperating Country to
which commodities are being shipped, or in which the project site is located.

c) Authority to waive marking requirements is vested with the Regional Assistant

Administrators, and with Mission Directors.

d) A copy of any specific marking instructions or waivers from marking requirements is to

be sent to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR); the original should be retained by the
Contractor.

D.2 BRANDING POLICY AND STRATEGY

Branding Strategy Implementation and Marking under this contract must comply with the “USAID
Graphics Standards Manual” available at http://www.usaid.gov/branding and any successor
branding policy as detailed in the Automated Directive System (ADS) Chapter 320.

Objective: To provide prospective Offerors with areas to be addressed in the development of the
Branding Implementation Plan and the Marking Plan which will deliver the message that the
assistance is from the American people.

Activity Name: The name of the activity shall be “CEGAH”. In every public event or document
and in discussions with the Government of Indonesia and other counterparts, the Contractor shall
identify the activity as “USAID CEGAH” on each reference.

Positioning: Publicity materials and communications must clearly reflect the notion that this
activity is provided by the American People through USAID, with the close collaboration and
support of the Government of Indonesia. No other organizations or bodies must be
acknowledged publicly in connection with CEGAH. Sub grantees/Sub contracts of CEGAH must
adhere to USAID marking and branding regulations found in ADS 320.

Approval Procedures: In carrying out the approved Branding Implementation Plan and Marking
Plan, the Contractor shall seek timely approval from the Contracting Officer Representative
(COR), in consultation with the USAID/Indonesia Mission Development Outreach Coordinator
(DOC) Office, for the communications plan, all public and media documents, marketing

and help the project its objectives? You can segment your audiences by demography,
geography and other categories relevant to your work. Do not taget the general public or
media. The general public is too broad and the media is a means to reach a target
demographic.)
 Theme (This is the big picture you want to convey to your audience. It’s how you define the
approach to the conversation. What’s the angle you want to portray your issue to engage
your key audiences? What’s the tone - do you want to highlight negative effects,
consequences, hope, empowerment, optimism, progress, etc.?)

events, press conferences, media briefings to release a policy paper, information campaign
that include the use of online and social media platforms, etc.)

as well as other key stakeholders. During contract performance, the Contractor will update the
work plan as required, subject to COR approval. COR’s approval of work plan updates are required
if the proposed changes impact on the use of available contract funds. Such comments and
changes, however, if accepted by the Contractor, may not constitute a change from the terms of
the contract. Work plans must describe the activities and interventions required to meet the
Contract outputs, including:

1) Proposed activities for the given year;

2) Corresponding time frame for implementation of annual activities;
3) Information on how activities will be implemented in a collaborative and coordinated
manner with implementing partners and GOI entities;
4) Review of previous year’s accomplishments, problems, and progress towards achieving
contract outcomes; and

be used by USAID personnel or their authorized representatives when evaluating the contractor's
performance.

(b) During any delay in furnishing a progress report required under this contract, the
Contracting Officer may withhold from payment an amount not to exceed US$25,000 (or local
currency equivalent) or 5 percent of the amount of this contract, whichever is less, until such time
as the contractor submits the report or the Contracting Officer determines that the delay no longer
has a detrimental effect on the Government's ability to monitor the contractor's progress.

F.5.5.1 CONTENTS OF PERIODIC PROGRESS REPORTS

Each year the Contractor must prepare and submit to the COR three Quarterly Progress reports
and one Annual Progress Report on activities, issues, constraints, progress toward goals, and

private sector after the contract or sub-award is made and during the life of the activity or
sub-activity.
h. Success stories that highlight the impact of the project’s work. The story needs to articulate
how the work of the project has resulted in positive change. The stories should include
impact statements and ideally would be human-centered stories that help audiences
personally and emotionally connect to the stories. Examples of success stories can be
found on the USAID Web site at http://www.usaid.gov/results-data/success-stories. All
success stories and impact statements must be shared electronically with the DOC team at

Quarterly Reports, but rather, the Annual Report must set out, in text and graphically, progress
made in achievement of the expected results and those related for each Component. It will draw
on the M&E Plan and provide a clear presentation of progress over the course of the year and
analysis of successes and challenges. It must include an update of the Activity Location data (for

during the year (by this specific contract).

52
 RFP NO. SOL-497-15-000025
CEGAH

DUE DATE:
The Contractor must submit first three Quarterly Progress Reports no later than 30 days following
the end of each U.S. fiscal year quarter. The fourth, the Annual Progress Report, must be
submitted no later than 30 days following the end of the U.S. fiscal year (September 30).

F.5.6 Monitoring and Evaluation Plan

The Monitoring and Evaluation Plan (M&E Plan) is a performance management tool for planning,
managing and documenting how performance data are collected and used. Innovative approaches
and creative technologies are encouraged.

The M&E Plan must include all indicators the Contractor believes to be necessary in order to
adequately measure and track progress and impact of tasks outlined in the award. The M&E Plan
must include relevant indicators from USAID/Indonesia’s Mission-wide Performance Management
Plan (PMP)31 and required Standard Indicators for the annual Performance Plan and Report (PPR).
The COR and Contractor will jointly identify the relevant Mission Performance Management Plan
and Standard Indicators to include prior to formal submission of the M&E Plan.

The M&E Plan must identify all baselines and targets for these indicators, or at a minimum explain
how they will be developed over the ensuing 12 months. The plan must also be able to track
gender-disaggregated results data as appropriate. This plan must also define the flow of information
within the Contractor’s organizational structure, enabling all parties to more effectively monitor and
manage activities required. In a uniform format, the M&E Plan must include Performance Indicator
Reference Sheets (PIRSs) which describe indicators in detail and include definitions, data sources,
frequency of data collection and reporting, data collection methods, and measures to maintain data
integrity. The Contractor is responsible for ensuring the quality of indicator data, including that which
is provide by any sub-contractors/grantees. Where appropriate, the indicators and performance
reference sheets must be consistent with USAID/ Indonesia’s PMP.

The M&E Plan must include the following indicators:

 World Justice Project (WJP) Rule of Law Index components 2.1 and 2.2 under Factor 2
(absence of corruption in the judicial and executive branch).
 Number of CSOs receiving USG assistance engaged in advocacy interventions.

53
 RFP NO. SOL-497-15-000025
CEGAH

 Number of mechanisms for external oversight of public resource use supported by USG
assistance. (Standard Indicator No. 2.2.4-4)

 Number of people affiliated with NGOs receiving USG supported anti-corruption training.
(Standard Indicator No. 2.2.4-5)
 Number of news articles and broadcast (radio and TV) segments that mention USAID
and the project’s activities

In order to better represent the results of activities, USAID requires geographically explicit indicators
to measure the activity’s results. Geographically-explicit indicators include information on the
location or geographic scale of the activity's performance, impact, or other information.
Geographically-explicit indicators enable place-based, adaptive performance management by
including information about not only what performance is occurring but also where.

In the M&E Plan the Contractor must identify which indicators lend themselves to geographic
representation and report accordingly. For example, the indicator “Number of USG-assisted courts
with improved case management systems. (Standard Indicator No. 2.1.3-13)” should include
geographic location data to enable USAID to track geographically differentiated progress through its
own systems. The M&E Plan must demonstrate how such geographically-explicit indicators will be
used to analyze activity performance and inform management decisions. See Section on
“Geographic Information Requirements” for format and requirements for reporting Geographic Data.

The Contractor’s M&E Plan is considered final following review, comment and approval by the COR.
The Contractor must submit M&E Plan data as part of its quarterly and annual performance reports
to the COR for review and approval.

DUE DATE: The Contractor must submit the M&E Plan no later than 90 days following Contract
award. The Contractor must commence implementation of the M&E Plan within 15 days following
receipt of the COR’s approval of the Plan.

The training report will be submitted to the COR on a quarterly basis.

The Contractor must ensure that all recipients of training comply with U.S. Government visa
requirements as well as USAID policy on participant training. Further information on these
requirements can be obtained from the COR. ADS Chapter 252 provides detailed information
regarding visa compliance guidelines, and ADS Chapter 253 provides guidance on USAID-funded
training programs.

F.5.8 Final Report

Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization
Room 7.08 RRB,
Washington, D.C. 20523

H.24 CONFLICT OF INTEREST

(a) It is understood and agreed that some of the work required hereunder may place the
Contractor, or its personnel or its Sub-Contractors or their personnel (hereinafter referred to
collectively as "Contractor"), in the position of having a potential personal or organizational
conflict of interest (OCI), i.e., because of other activities or relationships with other persons, (1)
the Contractor is unable or potentially unable to render impartial assistance or advice; or (2) the
Contractor's objectivity in performing the contract is or might be impaired; or (3) the Contractor
may receive an unfair competitive advantage; or (4) the Contractor may have a financial or other
personal interest which would or potentially would impair his/her objectivity and/or from which
he/she would improperly benefit. Further discussion of OCIs may be found in FAR 9.5.

(b) The performance/actions of personnel under this contract will be imputed to the
Contractor (or Sub-Contractor) by whom they are employed or retained, and the
performance/actions of any Sub-Contractor will be imputed to the Contractor, unless the
Contractor, on a case-by-case basis, can demonstrate otherwise and satisfy the Contracting
Officer that such imputation is unreasonable.

(c) In accordance with the clause of this contract entitled "Organizational Conflicts of Interest
Discovered After Award" (AIDAR 752.209-71), the Contractor agrees not to undertake any activity
which may involve a personal conflict of interest or an OCI without first notifying the Contracting
Officer of such potential conflict and receiving the Contracting Officer's authorization to undertake
that activity.

(d) If the potential conflict relates to performance of the work hereunder (e.g., where the
Contractor is to evaluate an activity in which the Contractor had some previous involvement,
thereby rendering the Contractor unable or potentially unable to provide impartial assistance or
advice, or impairing or potentially impairing the Contractor's objectivity), and the Contracting
Officer cannot neutralize, mitigate, or avoid the conflict, the Contracting Officer may decline to
authorize performance of that work by the Contractor.

(e) If the potential conflict relates to future activities (e.g., where the Contractor is to perform a
needs assessment, feasibility study, or design/development of a project or activity to be procured
under another contract for which the Contractor will or might compete or which may be awarded
noncompetitively to the Contractor, thereby potentially providing an unfair competitive advantage
to the Contractor, and/or rendering the Contractor unable or potentially unable to provide impartial
assistance or advice, or impairing or potentially impairing the Contractor's objectivity; or where the
work under this contract might affect the personal or financial interests of the Contractor), the
Contracting Officer may decline to authorize performance of that work by the Contractor or, if such

70
 RFP NO. SOL-497-15-000025
CEGAH

work is authorized, the Contracting Officer may place restrictions on the Contractor's future
activities, as permitted by FAR 9.5., and as necessary to neutralize, mitigate, or avoid the
potential conflict.

(f) The Contracting Officer's approval to undertake such activities, if given, may be based on
the Contracting Officer's determination that a significant potential conflict does not exist or does
not appear to exist, or may be conditioned on the acceptance by the Contractor of restrictions on
the Contractor's future activities. If restrictions are to be placed on future activities, the
Contractor may decline to perform the work.

(g) If it is discovered that the Contractor engaged in any activities which constitute a potential
or actual conflict without having first obtained the Contracting Officer's approval to undertake such
activities; or if it is subsequently discovered that, notwithstanding the Contracting Officer's
authorization to undertake the activity based on his/her initial determination that no significant
potential conflict existed or appeared to exist, a conflict did, in fact exist or arise, restrictions, as
permitted by FAR 9.5, on the Contractor's future activities may be placed unilaterally by the

will be deemed to be releasable.

(b) Any information made available to the Contractor by the Government must be used only for
the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this contract and must not be divulged or made
known in any manner to any person except as may be necessary in the performance of the

Automated Directives System (ADS) Parts 201.5.10g and 204
(http://www.usaid.gov/policy/ads/200/),which, in part, require that the potential environmental
impacts of USAID-financed activities are identified prior to a final decision to proceed and that
appropriate environmental safeguards are adopted for all activities.

working day prior to the date specified for receipt of proposals; or

or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(iv) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government

Government processes resume.

(v) Proposals may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before

(1) Mark the title page with the following legend: This proposal includes data that
shall not be disclosed outside the Government and shall not be duplicated, used,

103
 RFP NO. SOL-497-15-000025
CEGAH

or disclosed—in whole or in part—for any purpose other than to evaluate this

proposal. If, however, a contract is awarded to this Offeror as a result of—or in
connection with—the submission of this data, the Government shall have the right
to duplicate, use, or disclose the data to the extent provided in the resulting
contract. This restriction does not limit the Government's right to use information
contained in this data if it is obtained from another source without restriction. The
data subject to this restriction are contained in sheets [insert numbers or other
identification of sheets]; and

(2) Mark each sheet of data it wishes to restrict with the following legend: Use or
disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title
page of this proposal.

(f) Contract Award

(1) The Government intends to award a contract or contracts resulting from this
solicitation to the responsible Offeror(s) whose proposal(s) represents the best
value after evaluation in accordance with the factors and subfactors in the
solicitation.

(2) The Government may reject any or all proposals if such action is in the
Government’s interest.

(3) The Government may waive informalities and minor irregularities in proposals
received.

(4) The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without
discussions with Offeror (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)).
Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from
a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to
conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be
necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals
that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an
efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the
number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will
permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

(5) The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a
quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit cost or prices offered, unless the
Offeror specifies otherwise in the proposal.

(6) The Government reserves the right to make multiple awards if, after
considering the additional administrative costs, it is in the Government’s best
interest to do so.

(7) Exchanges with Offeror after receipt of a proposal do not constitute a rejection
or counteroffer by the Government.

(8) The Government may determine that a proposal is unacceptable if the prices
proposed are materially unbalanced between line items or subline items.
Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the

104
 RFP NO. SOL-497-15-000025
CEGAH

price of one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated as

indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may
be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an
unacceptable risk to the Government.

(9) If a cost realism analysis is performed, cost realism may be considered by the
source selection authority in evaluating performance or schedule risk.

(10) A written award or acceptance of proposal mailed or otherwise furnished to

the successful Offeror within the time specified in the proposal shall result in a
binding contract without further action by either party.

(11) If a post-award debriefing is given to requesting Offeror, the Government

shall disclose the following information, if applicable:

(i) The agency’s evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the
debriefed Offeror’s offer.

(ii) The overall evaluated cost or price and technical rating of the successful
and the debriefed Offeror and past performance information on the debriefed
Offeror.

(iii) The overall ranking of all Offeror, when any ranking was developed by
the agency during source selection.

(iv) A summary of the rationale for award.

(v) For acquisitions of commercial items, the make and model of the item to
be delivered by the successful Offeror.

(vi) Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed

Offeror as to whether source-selection procedures set forth in the solicitation,
applicable regulations, and other applicable authorities were followed by the
agency.

for this procurement technical proposal merits are considered substantially more
important than cost relative to deciding which Offeror might best perform the work,
cost factors and USAID’s budget may also be considered. As technical scores
converge, cost may become a deciding factor in award. Therefore, after the final
evaluation of proposals, the Contracting Officer will make the award to the Offeror
whose proposal offers the best value to the Government considering both technical
and cost factors.

M.2 BEST VALUE/TRADE OFF DECISION

a) The Government intends to evaluate proposals and may award a Contract without
discussions. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if
determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. Therefore, each initial offer
should contain the Offeror’s best proposal from both a cost and a technical standpoint.

b) Proposals received in response to this solicitation will be evaluated by USAID

pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) and the Agency for
Development Acquisition Regulation (AIDAR). In accordance with FAR 52.215-1 –
Instructions to Offerors – Competitive Acquisition, and as set forth in Section L of this
solicitation, one award will be made by the Contracting Officer to the responsible
Offeror whose proposal, conforming to the solicitation, is determined most
advantageous to the government, all technical and cost factors considered. The
criteria set forth herein will be used by the Contracting Officer as a guide in
determining which proposals will be most advantageous to the Government.

M.3 TECHNICAL EVALUATION CRITERIA

Technical proposals will be evaluated according to the criteria prescribed below. Offerors
should note that the following criteria: (1) serve as the standard against which all
proposals will be evaluated; and (2) serve to identify the significant matters which
Offerors should address in their proposals.

To facilitate the review of proposals, narrative portions of proposals should be organized

in the same order as the broad evaluation criteria. In evaluating the different components
of the technical proposal, USAID/Indonesia will examine the overall merit and feasibility
of the proposal, as well as specific criteria relevant to each component as elaborated
below:

Evaluation Criteria:
1. Technical Approach
2. Key Personnel and Staffing
3. Management Plan
4. Past Performance Information

Order of Importance: The following are the Technical Application evaluation criteria
against which proposals will be evaluated. “Technical Approach” and “Key Personnel and
Staffing” are equally important and together constitute the significant majority ranking for
proposals. Each alone is more important than either “Management Plan” or “Past
Performance Information.” “Past Performance Information” is equal in importance to
“Management Plan”.

1. Technical Approach [see Section L.11.c ]

The proposal demonstrates a clear, logical, innovative approach to the implementation of

the three contract components of USAID’s CEGAH activity. The proposal demonstrates
Offeror’s ability to implement the proposed activity structure and the Offeror’s
understanding of the efforts requisite for effective and successful achievement of the
objectives outlined in Section C - Statement of Work, including the ability to respond
quickly and provide services in response to USAID and beneficiary requests. The
evaluation will be based on the quality of the proposed technical approach in terms of:

● Understanding and achieving the objectives and deliverables;

● Clearly articulating and achieving tasks and deliverables;
● Specifying and tracking the indicators and targets and facilitating an
RCT-based impact evaluation; and
● Ensuring the project principles throughout project activities.

2. Staffing Plan and Key Personnel [See Section L.11.d]

Proposed staff will be evaluated on the degree to which they meet the requirements
outlined in Section C. The proposal demonstrates technical and personal qualifications
of all key personnel, including evidence of professional competence and experience in
successful implementation of similar programs in international settings.

122
 RFP NO. SOL-497-15-000025
CEGAH

The proposal clearly and logically shows roles, responsibilities, and relationships of
proposed key and non-key staff reflecting the positions and skill-sets required to carry out
requirements of the project’s scope of work. The proposal shows key positions held by
sub-contractors.

3. Management Plan [See Section L.11.e]

The proposal demonstrates that the Offeror and its subcontractors (if any) have a sound
management plan and organizational structure to manage the contract and achieve
desired results and outcomes as well as justification of the structure. The start-up plan
lays out an ambitious and achievable path to quickly establishing an active staff presence.
The proposal also demonstrates clear and realistic description of timely plans for staffing
and mobilization, including the hiring of personnel, the establishment of offices and
communications system, fulfilling urgent requests for technical assistance from USAID
once the project is awarded, and managing the administrative and regulatory
requirements and procedures of a U.S. Government-funded development assistance
program in Indonesia.

4. Past Performance Information [See Section L.11.f]

The Contractor and major sub-contractor performance information will be used for both
responsibility determination and best value decision. USAID may use performance
information obtained from other than the source identified by the Offeror/subcontractor.
USAID will utilize existing databases of contractor performance information and solicit
additional information from the referenced provided and from other sources if and when
the Contracting Officer finds the existing databases to be insufficient for evaluating an
Offeror’s performance.

Adverse past performance information to which the Offeror previously has not had an
opportunity to respond will be addressed in accordance with the policies and procedures
set forth in FAR 15.3

USAID will initially determine the relevance of similar performance information as a

predictor of probable performance under the subject requirement. USAID may give more
weight to performance information that is considered more relevant and/or more current.

The contractor performance information determined to be relevant will be evaluated in

accordance with the elements below:

a) Demonstrated success in implementation of programs of similar size and

complexity, timeliness of performance, and adherence to contract
schedules and other time-sensitive project conditions;
b) Effectiveness of home and field office management to make prompt
decisions and ensure efficient completion of Tasks;
c) Effectiveness and retention of key personnel including prompt and
satisfactory changes in personnel when problems were identified;
d) Business relations, addressing the history of professional behavior and
overall business-like concern for the interests of the customer, including the
contractor’s history of reasonable and cooperative behavior, customer
satisfaction, timely award and management of subcontracts, cooperative

123
 RFP NO. SOL-497-15-000025
CEGAH

attitude in remedying problems, and timely completion of all administrative

requirements.
e) Cost control, including accurate forecasting and financial reporting.
f) For prime offerors who are not small business concerns, their utilization of
Small Business concerns as subcontractors, including efforts in achieving
small business participation goals.

An Offeror’s performance will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably when 1) the

Offeror lacks relevant performance history, 2) information on performance is not available,
or 3) the Offeror is a member of a class of Offerors where there is provision not to rate the
class against a sub-factor. When this occurs, an Offeror lacking relevant performance
history is assigned a “neutral” rating and the weighting of the evaluation criteria will be
adjusted to accommodate this. An exception to this “neutral” rating provision is when a
non-small businesses prime has no history of subcontracting with small business concern.

Prior to assigning a “neutral” past performance rating, the Contracting Officer may take
into account a broad range of information related to the Offeror’s performance.

M.4 EVALUATION METHODOLOGY

The technical evaluation committee will use an adjectival approach when evaluating the
proposals. The below chart details the rating scheme and the definition that apply to
technical factors as well as past performance evaluation factors.

M.5 COST EVALUATION CRITERIA
No specific weight is assigned to the cost proposals evaluation. While the technical
evaluation criteria are more important than the cost, cost remains important as part of the
Agency’s best value/tradeoff analysis and verification of the Offerors’ understanding of
the requirements.
126

CEGAH
offeror’s past performance
record leads to an expectation
that successful performance
might be difficult to achieve or
that it can occur only with
increased levels of
government management and
oversight.
The offeror’s performance of
previously awarded relevant
contracts did not meet most
contractual requirements and
recovery, if any, did not occur
within the stated period of
performance. The
contractor’s performance
reflected serious problems for
which the offeror either failed
to identify or implement
corrective actions were mostly
ineffective. Performance of
completed contracts was
consistently of poor quality or
a trend toward becoming so.
The offeror’s past
performance record leads to a
strong expectation that
successful performance would
not be achieved or that it can
occur only with greatly
increased levels of
government management and
oversight.
The offeror lacks a record of
relevant or available past
performance history. Based
on this, there is no expectation
of either successful or
unsuccessful performance.
 RFP NO. SOL-497-15-000025
CEGAH

Cost will primarily be evaluated for realism, allowability, reasonableness, and cost
effectiveness. This evaluation consists of a review of the cost portion of an Offeror’s
proposal to determine if the overall costs proposed are realistic for the work to be
performed, if the costs reflect the Offeror’s understanding of the requirements, if the costs
are consistent with the Technical Proposal and the efficient use of funding.

Evaluation of the cost proposal will consider the following:

1) Cost reasonableness, cost realism and completeness of the cost proposal and
supporting documentation;
2) Overall cost control/cost effectiveness evidenced in the proposal (avoidance of
excessive salaries, excessive home office visits, and other costs in excess of
reasonable requirements); and
3) Amount of the proposed fee, if any.

Cost reasonableness and realism is an assessment of accuracy with which proposed

costs represent the most probable cost of performance, within each Offeror’s technical
and management approach. A cost realism evaluation will be performed as part of the
evaluation process as follows:

a) Verify the Offeror’s understanding of the requirements.

b) Assess the degree to which the cost proposal accurately reflect the technical and
management approach as well as the risk that the Offeror will be successful in
providing the supplies or services for the costs proposed.
c) Assess the degree to which the costs included in the cost proposal accurately
represent the work effort included in the respective technical proposals.

Although technical evaluation criteria are more important than cost, the closer the
technical evaluation scores of the various proposals are to one another, the more
important cost considerations become.

M.6 DETERMINATION OF THE COMPETITIVE RANGE AND CONTRACT AWARD

(a) Competitive Range: The Government intends to evaluate proposals and may award a
contract without discussions. However, if the Contracting Officer determines that
discussions are necessary, he/she will establish a Competitive Range composed of only
the most highly rated proposals. In certain circumstances the Contracting Officer may
determine that the number of most highly rated proposals that might otherwise be included
in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be
conducted. Should that be the case, the Contracting Officer may then limit offers in the
competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among
the most highly rated offers. The Government may exclude an offer if it is so deficient as to
essentially require a new technical proposal. The Government may exclude an offer so
unreasonably priced, in relation to more competitive offers, as to appear that there will be
little or no chance of becoming competitive. The Government may exclude an offer
requiring extensive discussions, a complete re-write, or major revisions such as to allow
an Offeror unfair advantage over those more competitive offers.

(b) Best Value/Tradeoff: This procurement utilizes the tradeoff process set forth in FAR
15.101-1. If the Contracting Officer determines that competing technical proposals are
essentially equal, cost/price factors may become the determining factor in source

127
 RFP NO. SOL-497-15-000025
CEGAH

selection. Conversely, if the Contracting Officer determines that competing cost/price

proposals are essentially equal, technical factors may become the determining factor in
source selection. Further, the Contracting Officer may award to a higher priced Offeror if a
determination is made that the higher technical evaluation of that Offeror merits the
additional cost/price.

(c) Award: In accordance with FAR 52.215-1(f), the Government intends to award a
contract or contracts resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror(s) whose
proposal(s) represent the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors and
sub factors as set forth in this solicitation.

M.7 CONTRACTING WITH SMALL BUSINESS CONCERN AND DISADVANTAGED

ENTREPRISES

USAID encourages the participation of small business concerns and disadvantaged

enterprises in this project, in accordance with FAR Part 19 (48 CFR Chapter 1), and
AIDAR Part 726 (48 CFR Chapter 7). Accordingly, every reasonable effort will be made to
identify and make use of such organizations. All evaluation criteria being found equal, the
participation of such organizations may become a determining factor for selection.

M.8 BRANDING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AND MARKING PLAN

While the Branding Implementation Plan and Marking Plan will not be evaluated as a part
of the best value consideration, award to the otherwise successful Offeror will not be
made unless and until an acceptable plan is approved by the Government. Failure to
submit an acceptable plan may cause the Government to award to the next successful
Offeror. The evaluation of the Branding Implementation Plan and Marking Plans will
focus on the following:

(a) Completeness of the plans.

(b) Responsiveness to specific circumstances, implementation challenges and working
environments.
(c) Comprehensiveness to include contract deliverables and performance requirements.

* Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), paragraph 19.708(b) prescribes the use of

the clause at FAR 52.219-9 entitled "Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business, and
Women Owned Small Business Subcontracting Plan." The following is a suggested model
for use when formulating such subcontracting plan. While this model plan has been
designed to be consistent with FAR 52.219-9, other formats of a subcontracting plan may
be acceptable. However, failure to include the essential information as exemplified in this
model may be cause for either a delay in acceptance or the rejection of a bid or offer where
the clause is applicable. Further, the use of this model is not intended to waive other
requirements that may be applicable under FAR 52.219-9. "SUBCONTRACT" as used in
this clause, means any agreement (other than one involving an employer-employee
relationship) entered into by a Federal Government prime Contractor or Sub-contractor
calling for supplies or services required for performance of the contract or subcontract.

1. Type of Plan (Check One)

____ Individual plan (All elements developed specifically for this contract and

____ Master plan (Goals developed for this contract; all other elements standard; must be

____ Commercial products plan (Contractor sells large quantities of off-the-shelf

commodities to many Government agencies. Plans/goals negotiated by a lead
agency on a company-wide basis rather than for individual contracts. Plan
effective only during year approved. Contractor must provide copy of lead agency
approval).

(d) The Offeror's subcontracting plan shall include the following:

(1) Goals, expressed in terms of percentages of total planned subcontracting dollars, for the
use of small business, veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small
disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns as Sub-contractors.
Service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns meet the definition of
veteran-owned small business concerns, and Offerors may include them within the
subcontracting plan goal for veteran-owned small business concerns. A separate goal for
service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns is not required. The Offeror shall
include all subcontracts that contribute to contract performance, and may include a
proportionate share of products and services that are normally allocated as indirect costs.

(2) A statement of--

(i) Total dollars planned to be subcontracted for an individual contract plan; or the
Offeror's total projected sales, expressed in dollars, and the total value of projected
subcontracts to support the sales for a commercial plan is:
$_______________ and _______________%

(ii) Total dollars planned to be subcontracted to small business concerns is:

$_______________ and _______________%*

(iii) Total dollars planned to be subcontracted to veteran-owned small business

concerns is:

owned small business concerns is:

(4) A description of the method used to develop the subcontracting goals in paragraph
(d)(1) of this clause.

(5) A description of the method used to identify potential sources for solicitation purposes
(e.g., existing company source lists, the Procurement Marketing and Access Network
(PRO-Net) of the Small Business Administration (SBA), veterans service organizations,
the National Minority Purchasing Council Vendor Information Service, the Research and
Information Division of the Minority Business Development Agency in the Department of
Commerce, or small, HUB Zone, small disadvantaged, and women-owned small business
trade associations). A firm may rely on the information contained in PRO-Net as an
accurate representation of a concern's size and ownership characteristics for the purposes
of maintaining a small, veteran-owned small, HUB Zone small, small disadvantaged, and
women-owned small business source list. Use of PRO-Net as its source list does not relieve
a firm of its responsibilities (e.g., outreach, assistance, counseling, or publicizing
subcontracting opportunities) in this clause.

of Small Business Concerns" in all subcontracts that offer further subcontracting
opportunities, and that the Offeror will require all Sub-contractors (except small business
concerns) that receive subcontracts in excess of $500,000 ($1,000,000 for construction of
